I found that there is already a bug for this in Pango:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481203
This was also tracked here in bug 218905 which has since been closed for being
filed against an old rawhide version.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=127113 shows the rendering with the
fix in Pango (with no fix required in Lohit Tamil for this particular issue).
