Whether this is broken and/or a bug is not clear cut, but the Bold
Italic font does not have a default script, so it needs an explicit
script=latn in the feature setup (the other fonts actually do have a
default script, it is just the bold italic that does not have one).
I don't really know how to set that up in such a way that it will not
affect other fonts as well, but as a workaround/large hammer method,
adding this
\definefontfeature[default][default][script=latn]
before loading the typescript will probably work.
Best wishes,
Taco
