Dear François, Akira, and others,
Thanks for taking the time with this.
Yes, I have now accepted that the current behavior is the expected
behavior and it is now what I get with both TL2014 and TL2015. I am not
sure why I was getting the other behavior before I upgraded, but it is
now irreproducible on my system.
It looks like I will have just do the work of modifying my documents to
include local option switching.
Best,
Nathan

Dear Nathan,
After compiling your example on TL 2014 and TL 2015 with the
Scheherazade font, I saw absolutely *no* difference between them,
which is what should be expected. Then I immediately realized why
you're having this problem. In your example, you define \A as
\textarabic. But since the package option is *novoc*, it is assumed to
contain legacy ArabTeX ASCII notation, not UTF-8. The ArabXeTeX
documentation says that to input direct UTF-8 you need to use the
option *utf*. So if you use explicitly \textarab[*utf*]{خطًا} instead
your tanwin will not disappear. In the novoc mode there is indeed a
mapping rule which explicitly strips off all vowels (even from UTF-8
input).

François Charette

Dear Nathan,
I would be happy to help you debug this very strange behaviour. I
will contact you off-list. But first I need to install TL 2015 to
a separate virtual machine (as I am still using TL 2014).
BTW the utf mode does a little more than you think (it loads a
mapping from Latin to Arabic for punctuation signs, so that e.g.
U+002C becomes U+060C in the output), but anyway you are right:
what you observe simply should not happen.
Regards,
François

As a free font I would suggest Sheherezade from SIL.
My knowledge of arabic is nearly zero, I only know a little
urdu so I can recognize the characters but know nothing about
grammar.

Not really minimal. I don't know arabic and so even don't
know where
to look at and decide if something is missing.
Try to make an example that use only one or two input
chars. If
possible enter as ascii with their unicode notation: ^^^^062e
And if possible use a free font and tell where to get it.
