It took me eons to do this again, I apologise for that.  There's one
thing that I noticed about this issue: when I use this webpage
https://www.dinamalar.com/news_detail.asp?id=3012739 as a test page and
I let _all_ the scaled characters in that page be displayed, I cannot
reproduce the issue but if I let only some of the scaled characters in
that page be displayed and go to a part that was never displayed before,
the characters there have the "bad" shaping.  I'm writing this here
in the hopes that it might help in debugging.

I was not successful in getting the data for all offending sequences.
The offending sequences were,

bb9 bbf -- ஹி
ba9 bc1 -- னு
bb5 bbf	-- வி
b86 -- ஆ

and the GOOD case for bb9 bbf is

    lbearing 1 rbearing 28 width 28 ascent 9 descent 5
    1 bb9 bbf xadvance 1809 yadvance 0 xoffset 0 yoffset 0
    xpos 0 yoff 0 wadjust 28

and the BAD case is

    lbearing 1 rbearing 28 width 28 ascent 9 descent 5
    1 bb9 bbf xadvance 3193 yadvance 0 xoffset 0 yoffset 0
    xpos 0 yoff 0 wadjust 50

If you want more data, then I can try repeating this (I did not retry
since it is really tedious).

The data is for -Goss-Kurinto Seri-regular-normal-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
and HarfBuzz version is still at 4.2.0.

The patch I used is
