With two different versions of the font the exact same behavior was seen when switching from TL2007 or TL2008 to TL2010. This definitely rules out a font issue. Furthermore, fontspec prints the specification in the log, and there is nothing in there which would select alternates. This rules out fontspec as the culprit.
I'm curious: why do you always request that people try luatex? Is XeTeX not maintained anymore? I have no idea what luatex is, there simply was no need. Is there a reason to change that?
