The only clear evidence of Kashida usage in this example is in the emboldened title of the second item shown (i.e., to the right of the picture). The title of the first item (at top) does not exhibit Kashida in either IE or WebKit.

Regarding the second item, it is not clear from the example attachment whether the content author manually inserted TATWEEL (U+0640) [= kashida] in order to produce the shown justification or if IE performed Kashida insertion.

I suspect the former, which if true, would mean that WebKit was ignoring or mapping TATWEEL to the empty set when performing character to glyph mapping.

It would have been useful if you had included the original HTML that produced this example.
