For the record, what happened here:
When I first found out what Glyph Class meant, and that it affected how some lookups were applied, I went on a rampage of setting the glyph class explicitly -- probably hoping to fix some longstanding problems.  I didn't understand that the "automatic" class in FontForge meant a glyph of a Unicode character would get the appropriate class.
For Unicode characters, there isn't much use for explicit Glyph Class.  Glyph Class is important for non-Unicode glyphs -- for example, Mark Positioning specifically reqires that the character being positioned is of Glyph Class "Mark".
I should write a script...

U+0384 GREEK TONOS and U+0385 GREEK DIALYTIKA TONOS have the wrong glyph class too.

Yes, the OT Glyph Class of both is set to "Mark".  A boo-boo.

In FreeSerif, U+05BE HEBREW PUNCTUATION MAQAF, U+05C0 HEBREW PUNCTUATION PASEQ, U+05C3 HEBREW PUNCTUATION SOF PASUQ, and U+05C6 HEBREW PUNCTUATION NUN HAFUKHA are combining characters, but they should not be.
