Yes, there is. A character sequence FULL STOP, VOWEL SIGN E (say)

No, with proper reordering (and normal display mode), the e-matra at
the beginning of the second word would appear to be last glyph of the
first word. Similarly, for the second case, the e-matra glyph would
have come to the left of the pa. The fluent reader (ok, not me...)

I don't know where you find support for that position in that text.
Can you please quote? There are no invalid base consonants for
any dependent vowel (for Indic scripts; similarly for any
other script).
Actually, there is a mention of displaying combining marks on dotted
circles:
Let me give a proper example this time. Consider a Vowel Sign E [U+0947]
appearing after any non-consonant character. This sign is generally
attached to the consonants. It has zero advance width with negative left
side bearing in the font.
Ok.
Clearly, since in this case the sign is not

I add that this is a good way of displaying a combining mark that has no
base character, i.e. one occurring at the begin of a line or paragraph.
No, those should be displayed *as if* preceded by a SPACE (TUS 3.0 page 121).
So it says. But, the 'space method' could

The [new] INV character in Unicode can also be used for displaying dependent
vowel matras without dotted circle.
A space followed by a dependent vowel sign should display just the
