There are innumerable potential clusters of base character + combining marks drawn from different scripts that would exhibit the same "problem". E.g.,  xा,  好ُ ,  йઃ, and so on.

I don't think we should take any special steps to "split" mixed-script cases like this. IMO, there's no real use-case that requires us to depart from the default clustering behavior based on Unicode properties for examples that don't make sense in any normal writing system or language.
