I'm afraid I'm still too lame to even judge the difficulty of this, let alone fix it without guidance -> Cedric.
Some analysis and an ugly patch: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-January/005422.html
I'll take this one seeing as I'm at least *some* knowledge of the complex text layout having struggled through getting some Indic font stuff fixed.
Created attachment 42645 [details] test-case
As per mail to the list, doesn't obviously break our Indic rendering and improves the test-case, though I think its more of a band-aid than a full fix, but it'll do for now anyway :-)
