The attached sample from IJAL shows what is typographically a retroflex hook being used to indicate nasalisation. I've been in touch with the out-going editor, and he indicated that he had thought they were using ogonek.
I've looked back in IJAL a little, and it appears that between 1991 and 1993 there was a change in typeface. Both before and after, a Times-like face was used, but there are discernable differences. Apparently, the newer face provided a retroflex hook glyph but not an ogonek glyph (or glyphs for atomic vowel+ogonek combinations). As I said earlier, though, IJAL wasn't the only source in which I saw retroflex hook being used to indicate nasals: in my notes, I recorded having seen this also in a book published by Blackwell (I think). I need to head back to the library to look for this book again.
