Yes. The equation number is printed with round braces and when a
font with Script=Arabic is used round braces has interesting side
effects on numbers.
\documentclass{article}
\font\test="Scheherazade/ICU:script=arab;language=DFLT;"
\begin{document}\test
123 (123 abc
123 (123abc
345 789)
\end{document}
gives as output
123 abc
123 (123abc
345 (78
So numbers and the braces are swallowed in some cases.

If it is only a miktex bug and if the source can be found ... But at
first it should be checked that it is not a xetex bug.
Miktex uses the version:
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-0.9997.5 (MiKTeX 2.9)
