Bug Description
I am using konsole, with sub-pixel anti-aliasing enabled and manual hinting. At 11 PPEM (6x12 pixels) the lowercase bold 'm' is only drawn with single-width stems, where all the other bold characters have jumped up to double pixel stems. The bold 'm' is also only being drawn at 79% intensity of the other single-stem characters.
Proposed solution:
1. There is no suitable obvious solution (not enough pixels) in B&W
2. For grayscale, try to use 1.3 pixels per leg, and use full 7-pixel width for outer stems

Thaddee: Thank you for spotting this too. Please can you post a also screenshot showing exactly what you're seeing with the lowercase 'm', in context that you're seeing it.
For this one, please could you also copy and paste the two special debugging characters U+EFFD and U+F000 ('' and '') into the terminal or editor before taking the screenshot.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to report this!
