I hardly know how to describe this. Consider the following reduced case:
In the first, third, and fifth lines, a strange character (looking like a box with an X) is inserted between the words. In the last case, it's inserted after the word. If you remove the letter-spacing of zero, the weird character appears in a different place on those same lines.
The character, as best as I can tell, is U+DBC0 followed by U+DC00.
PDF rendering attached. You can ask me for the font if you don't have it
So, so weird...
This does seem specific to the combination of font, text-transform, and font-variant. But so very strange that it depends on literal content!
