No reason, just bad force of habit (:-).
Just
Thanks, Khalid. In the example in which Arthur pointed out my error, the
label was not part of a math formula. But in some other figures, the labels
do indeed have a little math. I tried your suggestion in one of these, and
it worked. Again I appreciate the prompt solutions.

Hi Akira,
As I mentioned in my previous response to Khaled, "-ccmp" does improve the
output. It makes the word spacing a bit too generous, but additional
adjustment is then possible with WordSpace. Thanks for your attention.

in, I am not calling for a ban on tight kerning, but I am asking
Jonathan to be flexible about interword spaces for anyone who wants it. At
present most Urdu word processors make it very difficult to overcome
interword space suppression in Nastaleeq fonts.

Thanks, Gildas, for your suggestions. I'll try turning off pdfinfo() but I
need to first learn how to do it without the hyperref package which I'm not

that the above program doesn’t really need bidi as all of its output
text is in the Latin script. But I do need the bidi feature in the actual
document that I need to process.
Any help will be appreciated.

for readability as opposed to the true nastaliq enthusiasts who like words

He has also recommended \autofootnoterule instead \rightfootnoterule.
That takes care of the problem. It is too easily fixed to require any change
in polyglossia or its language-specific files.

Here's a suggestion:
\newcommand\gen[2]{ %genotype
$
\left( \mathop{{}_{\overline{\overline{#2}}}^{#1}}\right)
$
}
The double bar will be sized for the bottom symbol. So if the top symbol
has a different size, the result won't look nice.

With XeTeX, there seems less need of language-specific packages because the
characters of various alphabets can be directly typed. So this produces the
same output as Nathan's program:
