This, and worse. I have quite a few fontspec invocations that no longer 
work. Specifically, feature definitions for numbers (oldstyle in this 
case), ligatures (discretionary), and style all fail. They can, however, 
be successfully invoked using RawFeature, and specifications of font 
names (ItalicFont=...) and some other specifications do work as before. 
This is very frustrating.
