With TeX Live 2007 and an updated xelatex to Version  
3.141592-2.2-0.997 (Web2C 7.5.6) (format=xelatex 2008.2.3) I get this  
composed glyph on the left side. On the right it's just an ?. In TL  
2008 both glyphs are OK.

The other differences are:

fontspec     2006/12/24 v1.13 vs. fontspec     2008/08/09 v1.18
  xkeyval.tex 2006/11/18 v2.5f vs. xkeyval.tex  2008/08/13 v2.6a
   eu1enc.def 2006/08/13 v0.1a vs. eu1enc.def   2008/03/08 v0.1d
xunicode.sty 2005/02/26 v0.5  vs. xunicode.sty 2008/02/08 v0.91
  xltxtra     2006/06/13 v0.2  vs. xltxtra      2008/07/29 v0.4

In TL 2007 lmodern.sty    2007/01/14 v1.3 is loaded. With Hoofer Text  
? becomes ??.

They're putting dimes in the hole in my head to see the change in me.
