Not sure what the characteristics are.  Or if it's new in Firefox 34.  But on my Linux box, this page is very broken:

It works fine in Chrome.
No issue here, what version of Times New Roman do you have? I have 6.83 here.

Humm.  I'm looking at version 3.0 if I understand corrrectly.  That said, HarfBuzz renders it correctly.  My version has no GPOS, so the question is, if Firefox is indeed using the font I think it's using, why doesn't the interal HarfBuzz mark stacking not working for me.

Could you post a screenshot to show the brokenness you're seeing, please?

The issue is that harfbuzz's fallback positioning doesn't work in Firefox, because we don't provide a get_glyph_extents callback. We should fix that.
Ah, good to know.  Yes, please fix.
Having implemented basic loca/glyf-loading to support proper vertical metrics, we can refactor this slightly and also provide a glyph-extents callback, so that harfbuzz's fallback mark positioning works properly. This fixes the rendering of Behdad's example here, and similar cases with old (GPOS-less) fonts.

And here's a simple reftest to check that it's working.

So this codepath only gets hit for marks from fonts lacking a GPOS table? So it's not really important to worry about how to deal with this issue for CFF fonts, the assumption being that there's a properly constructed GPOS table?

Correct.

We can even argue that CFF fonts must have GPOS.  This is mostly for TrueType-but-not-OpenType fonts.

This is kind of strange structure, was it intentional? Maybe </span> should be </div>?
From left to right, trunk with patch, Chrome 41.0.2272.3 dev, Safari 6.2.2, all running on OSX.

Gentium - test font
Fira Sans - otf version 3.002
Constantia - TrueType Microsoft cfont
Candara - TrueType Microsoft cfont
Minion Pro - otf, Adobe standard serif
Cambria - TrueType Microsoft cfont
Calibri - TrueType Microsoft cfont

Fira Sans and Minion Pro lack support for U+302, U+303 but all the Microsoft cfont's do. Not sure why Constantia and Candara fail here.

Oops. Yes, indeed.

Because they have GPOS tables (and so the fallback positioning logic is not used) but don't include mark positioning features.

Sort of unfortunate that we can deal with these fonts better. Safari displays marks correctly for both. But IE11 shows the same problem, so I guess we can deal with that later.
