Hello Anshu,

The LaTeX3 team have overhauled quite a bit of the support code in
recent months, and it is not surprising that not everything has quite
worked. I will investigate and report back.

(This is not likely to be a MiKTeX-specific bug, but I can understand
why you've reported it here. Also, the bug can be reproduced with, for
example, TeX Gyre Termes and so investigation is not dependent on
paid-for fonts.)
