Yes, that does look strange. It might be a font error, or it might be
an error in the OpenType implementation used in XeTeX. Are you able to
test the same text, with the same font, in a current version of Windows
to see how it renders with Uniscribe? If it behaves properly there,
then it's most likely a XeTeX/ICU layout bug.
