I believe (correct me if I'm wrong!) that xetex uses the HarfBuzz
engine. There was a bug in this engine that prevented a new Nastaliq
font from SIL from working properly. A fix for this bug has just been
accepted (I believe it's this one:
https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz/pull/475). It's not clear to me
whether this can get into xetex before the next TeXLive release, given
the schedule here:
