Ugly Variations in ldots with Latin Modern

Here is my code:

 \documentclass{article}
 %\usepackage{unicode-math}
 %\setmathfont{Latin Modern Math}
 \begin{document}
 The letters $a, \ldots, z$ are used.
 \end{document}

It produces this output, when typesetting with XeLatex: enter image description here

If I uncomment the second line, I get: enter image description here

If I uncomment the second and third lines, I get: enter image description here

My questions are:

(1) Are these the expected/correct results, or does it look like my TeX or font installation is somehow messed up?

(2) I suppose the third result is a consequence of the design of the ellipsis character in the Latin Modern fonts. Is this design as intended, or is it regarded as a bug? I personally don't like how it looks, but that's just a matter of taste, I guess.
