Don't take what is printed in the log with great confidence, bugs exist.

For this particular case, because two successive posts suggested a
change in XeTeX behaviour which I highly doubt and since I don't have
the font myself I can't but suggest what I think a strong way to rule
out engines bugs; test with a different engine. I'm not asking anyone to
switch to LuaTeX (though I consider this a desired out come), I'm only
suggesting a step in debugging this particular case.
