It looks like I was mistaken about the time it takes to reproduce; I was
simply not observant enough. Here's a recipe that reliably reproduces
the problem,
1. emacs -Q
2. M-: (set-fontset-font t 'tamil "Kurinto Seri")
3. M-s M-w https://www.dinamalar.com/news_detail.asp?id=2996410
4. C-x C-+ a bunch of times and look for clipped text. Sometimes
this does not reproduce the first time, so you end up having to
zoom out and in a few times.

I tried Meera Inmai, Noto Serif Tamil, Noto Sans Tamil, Catamaran,
Kurinto Seri. Out of which only Noto Serif and Kurinto Seri shows the
problem. Maybe it is a font issue after all? but (Ungoogled) Chromium
which uses harfbuzz AFAICT renders the text just fine.
