I agree with Andrew: there needs to be wording making it clear that the first-letter pseudo-element applies to the first grapheme cluster. This will be true not only for the Indic scripts, but also for Indic-derived scripts of Southeast Asia like Thai, Laos, Myanmar, Khmer, and Tai Tham, inter alia. It will still be a very long time before browsers actually provide adequate support: but in any case it will be very nice if the specs have adequate wording so implementors will have a better clue about what might actually be required to support complex scripts.
