This is another issue than what I originally thought.

The outer most contour has only off-line points and is thus ignored when
trying to identify the orientation of the glyph.  This change was
introduced here:

I'll see if I can find the fonts mentioned there to test.

This mail is also forwarded to Zhe Su.
