Hi, This new version seems to do unicode normalization (NFC) by default. It was not the case of previous version of xetex, as far as \XeTeXinputnormalization=1 is not declared explicitly.
The new feature (or bug) affects pre-modern Hangul texts typeset with some fonts, eg. Malgun Gothic bundled with windows 8. To work around, I have to insert ZWJ or ZWNJ between initial consonant and vowel, which is not a common practice in Korea. Attached are sample tex file and pdf. Anyway, this issue is related to my posting avaliable at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/harfbuzz/2012-April/001896.html . As I do not think it is a bug of harfbuzz or other library, I did not respond any more. I believe that font developers should cope with that case, and there are some fonts that give us correct output even without ZWJ or ZWNJ. Now with new xetex version, however, this new feature seems to conflict with the primitive \XeTeXinputnormalization. So not just a feature but a bug.
