I think there's a problem that arises due to the change in
79d1007a501fd63c0ba4d51038c513e6b8b94740, whereby variation selectors
not directly used by the cmap (i.e. by a format 14 subtable) are mapped
separately via the standard cmap subtable so that GSUB processing can
handle them.
This will work fine for fonts that actually expect to handle VS codes in
this way. The trouble is that in many cases, the VS codepoint will -not-
be mapped to a suitable glyph code by the cmap; it will simply map to
the .notdef glyph, which will then appear as a box or similar unwanted
artifact in the output. (It would also -block- GSUB/GPOS rules from
applying as expected to the base and any following glyphs.)
So in the case where the font does not actually map the VS codepoint to
a glyph, we should simply delete it from the buffer.
Maybe something like the attached patch...?
