[luatex] luatex misalignment of certain diacritics in certain LaTeX environments

[Benjamin Slade]

I've noticed that certain diacritics---including over-dots, under-rings,
but not acute accents or macrons---are misaligned by the luatex engine
when they occur in tabular or hbox environments (and also in the
linguistics example/glossing packages linguex and expex). When compiled
with xetex, these misalignments do not occur.

 Is this a known issue?

 I include a (fairly)
minimal illustrative example below. (Compare alignment of over-dot and
under-ring in source and in luatex vs xetex outputs.)

%%% Local Variables: 
%%% TeX-engine: luatex

\usepackage{linguex}

\begin{document}

\noindent \underline{Not misaligned in normal environment}\footnote{Except something funny is happening w/ the mono/typewriter text, but perhaps that's a font-specific issue}\\
