No, the font is (almost) correct; at least the contextual lookup is
properly associated with the "hist" feature. I have already explained
what it doesn't work in XeTeX just because of the problem related
with the space characters.

Unfortunately this also means that the way XeTeX handles OT fonts
has a really serious limitation. Many OT rules may depend from
spaces found in the input stream, and, of course, typing spaces
as \char 32 is not an option in this case.
