What happened?

<U+05D5 HEBREW LETTER VAV, U+05BA HEBREW POINT HOLAM HASER FOR VAV> is rendered wrong. The vowel sign should be above and to the left of the letter.

Compare <U+05D5 HEBREW LETTER VAV, U+05B9 HEBREW POINT HOLAM>, in which the vowel sign is correctly rendered directly above the letter.

Also compare #552, which was basically the same bug the other way around. To be clear, U+05B9 and U+05BA are different characters. They behave differently. They should not look the same when applied to vav.

This is as intended

There is no option for a Holam Haser to be for a Vav (the Vav in itself is the maker of the sound O), so normally when it's Holam Haser with any letter (apart from the vav) it will be indeed positioned on the left right to the letter. But in the case of the Vav it will always be positioned above it.
