I don’t see a big here, may be an unfortunate feature. The font size is set so that the bounding box of the text fits in N lines, and the first drop cap has a larger descender so it uses a smaller font size size than the second one which does not have a descender at all.

I don’t know what the “correct” versions looked like, but the only option here is to use the line height instead of the bounding box, but then users of, say, Latin fonts with ascender bigger than cap height will be getting extra empty space above drop caps and smaller font size than what they have now.
Comment 6 Caolán McNamara 2020-06-06 19:14:39 UTC
I don't think the bisect points to a time when it worked by design, more by chance depending on fairly random glyph fallback quirks
