Pretty much hints at an invalid/erroneous outline. If you're absolutely
sure that the glyph is valid in respect to the format, I'd ask you to report
your finding as a bug. However (!) please talk to the font designer(s)
first and let them verify the correctness of the font (e.g. it could be a
hidden version of a former version of a glyph etc). FreeType is maintained
by a very small team and looking into bugs that are not related to FreeType
is extremely costly.
Thanks for taking that into account,
best
