I don't follow closely what is happening with FE_Nedelec but it is probably
the worst finite element to work with in deal. Over the years, we have
found some subtle bugs in the implementation. My understanding is that the
current implementation will be replaced by this one
https://github.com/dealii/dealii/pull/2240 which should be a lot more
robust. If you suspect that the problem is in deal, you could try this
implementation.

Best,

Bruno
