This was reported in https://github.com/latex3/luaotfload/issues/168 and was supposed to be fixed by https://github.com/latex3/luaotfload/commit/6d746704e716941f9cf915346eb78d40a5759f2a, so I'm not sure if this is a regression or if that commit only ever fixed the other bug, since the original report described two.
