I don't have time to investigate but it seems to me that some contextual shaping is happening. If this is true it is not a problem of FreeType 2 (which doesn't support OpenType directly for the moment) but rather a problem one level higher where Indic scripts are handled, probably within the Pango library.

Here's what the qt guys had to say about this:
I did some tests, and it seem the problem is buried somewhere in the open type code used by both gtk and Qt.
I've personally verified that "0xcb7 0xccd" is not reordered by the shaping engines.
