I'll try.
Yes, all the problems you mention seem just to be
consequences of
this. The entry in question is <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%B4%BE>
Could you check any rendering issues also? In this image -
image_077ebd23_d890a7083e967d92.png - vowel sign appears after the
letter as മുംബ ൈ (without space) correct one is മുംബൈ. Images

image_35628971_fbfc5b67d488e883.png ,
image_b5d2be0d_7223dc2282b35e15.png etc.. also share similar problem.
Is there some generalisable learning here? Exclude
letters?
(Wiktionary experts should tell us if they're all tagged as such.)
Only use "words" of at least two unicode characters?
Vowel signs should not start a captcha (or any of the words in captcha)
and no two vowel signs should appear side by side.
Vowel signs for Malayalam: ാ, ി, ീ, ു, ൂ, ൃ, െ, േ, ൈ, ൊ, ോ, ൗ, ൌ
Other signs (above same rule should be applied on these signs also) : ്, ം, ഃ
Vowel letters should not be in the middle of a word (or captcha)
Vowel letters: അ, ആ, ഇ, ഈ, ഉ, ഊ, ഋ, ഌ, എ, ഏ, ഐ, ഒ, ഔ
(Possibly these rules are applicable to other Indic languages also
because their vowel letters and vowel signs act very similar to Malayalam.)
If possible, do not include Malayalam chillu characters [1] in captcha
(atleast for now) because they have two encodings possible since Unicode
5.1.0. Normalization enabled only in ml.wikis and bug to enable
normalization in all wikimedia wikis still pending [2].
If possible, limit the Malayalam block to U+0D02 to U+0D57, because
other characters (except chillu characters) are not popular and probably
not even mapped in keyboards. In the limit itself U+0D3A, 0D3D and 0D4E
should be avoided which are also facing similar uncertainty.
