Hmm, strange. With STR of OP with Writer 7.3.0alpha export to PDF. Opened in
Acrobat Reader (ver 2021.005.20058) and copy to Notepad++ (bld 7.9.5) in UTF+8
encoding--I get exactly the same misformed Devanagari 

The glyph clusters are not formed correctly, so the words can not be copied out
of the PDF.

The /ActualText structures when present would supplement the incorrect
ToUnicode strings that drop lexical details.  Parsing the actual text runs
would, if done at Unicode word bound iterators, provide better fidelity to
original text when enabled and embedded into the PDF export.
