The following code fails; however, it succeeds without newotf, and
it succeeds with newotf if the defined font feature (*hebrew) is
removed from the \definefont command. The characters that
demonstrate the problem are HEBREW LETTER LAMED combined with HEBREW
POINT HOLAM, followed by HEBREW LETTER ALEF (U05DC with combining
U05B9 followed by U05D0). I have not come across other combinations
that cause the problem, but I have not done an exhaustive search.
\usemodule [newotf]
\setupdirections [bidi=global]
\definefontfeature [hebrew] [default]
[lang=heb,ccmp=yes,script=hebr]
\definefont [Hebrew] [sileot*hebrew]
\starttext

This is okay:{\hfill\Hebrew לא}
This is okay:{\hfill{\Hebrew לֹ}}
This fails:{\hfill{\Hebrew לֹא}}

It reports:
