Still an issue, might be fixed with bug 89870.
I think the issue he is not ligatures, as في in this font is two separate glyphs that are designed to match each other, AKA contextual alternates, (it is the same effect as ligatures but done in a different way). Kashida insertion inside ligatures is already fixed as part of bug 89870, but disallowing ligatures between contextual alternates is harder is there is no simple way to identify them and it might be possiple that inserting kashida between them is OK. But I think the real issue here is that, there should never be an automatic kashida before a final ي, so inserting kashida here is wrong whether there is a ligature or not.
Khaled Hosny committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=7fdb418aea11a4e1f09a04c02d125880925272aa tdf#65344: Don’t put Kashida before any final char It will be available in 5.3.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.

Try the document from attachment 44464 [details] and the font from attachment 44465 [details], the choice of layout engine makes no difference here (it would make difference though in fonts that actually have ligatures, like Traditional Arabic).
