"fl" and "fi" character sequences are collapsed

Using some fonts (powerline patched fonts Meslo or Menlo for Powerlines), "fl" and "fi" characters are collapsed into a single character. This can be tested by simply typing "fl" or "fi" at a prompt.
Link to Meslo for Powerline font that displays the issue:

This issue did not occur until an update to the latest build of iTerm2.
