Keyman sends the correct Hebrew or Dvorak character to insertText:replacementRange: instead.

Noticed a bit of a problem.
To reproduce, install Himyarit Musnad keyboard https://keyman.com/keyboards/himyarit_musnad
typing 'h' causes this character to appear: 𐩱
typing 'n' followed by 'h' generates garbage input rather than expected 𐩱:

(I am using the monkey tester, but it will work with any application that uses a TextArea)
