A poster in the Apple discussions has pointed out the neither of the two fonts provided by Apple for the Malayalam script in OS X and iOS display the correct glyphs for the yy and vv consonant clusters, which are supposed to represent the second member by a small triangle under the first character.
To get correct display in OS X you will have to use the font sold by XenoTypeTech or the Rachana font from

(Unfortunately adding fonts to iOS devices is not yet possible).
PS There appears to be another bug with incorrect display when two viramas are typed in succession (or the lack of a ZWNJ on the keyboard to create the equivalent effect).
12/3/12 These bugs have not been fixed as of 10.8.2
