A related observation: The noto font does not seems to have this issue. It
does not have explicit <dot-reph, cha, virama, cha> glyph. The dot-reph
glyph is reordered to after the last virama.

Font is available at:
https://noto.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/fonts/individual/unhinted/NotoSansMalayalam.ttf
