I tried Nafees Web Naskh (from the same font package) and I have the
same error. I have quite a lot of fonts in directories under
/usr/share/fonts, probable I have not tried all of them but generally
what I tried, everything worked. Nafees fonts are the only problematic
ones. AFAIK these fonts are popular for typesetting in Urdu and Farsi
and I think someone uses them in XeLaTeX. Maybe this is some OS
specific bug, I do not know.

It has nothing to do with Arabic, I have SIL Sheherezade in a
subdirectory of /usr/share/fonts and it works fine.
