Either way, glad you have a solution that works for you, and it is definitely worth contacting the font maintainers, because as you said, I'm sure you're not the only one running into this by any stretch of the imagination, and the problem really needs to be fixed globally.
Interestingly, we've seen this, or things like it, in KP before, particularly (n.b.) with Adobe fonts. I'll reach out to the foundry/designers and let them know about it, I think I still have the screenshots and all that around here.
