I looked at this in the debugger. shapeArabic() is called, and the text is
handed over to ICU for shaping. u_shapeArabic takes
U+0686 U+0627 U+06A9 U+0648
and returns
U+0686 U+FE8E U+06A9 U+FEEE

Somehow at least the first and third characters don't seem to be shaped
correctly. Could be a bug in ICU or in the way it's called (maybe it needs
different options?). The string is small enough that I might try to run it
through
<http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.9.ppc/ICU-6.2.13/icuSources/common/ushape.c>
manually and see what happens.
