On my TeXLive system your example compiles correctly. Do you have the 
same problem with other Arabic fonts? The problem could be with the 
xdvipdfmx binary in MikTeX, but I can't test it as I use Linux. Let's 
see if another MikTeX user can reproduce this.

Does MikTeX 2.7 really provide XeTeX 0.998.1 ?? AFAIK it has not been 
released! Current version should still be 0.997-dev.
