sorry about my earlier reply, I am busy with other things

this formulation dates back to my report on fontspec issue tracker

hence "default monotype font" is what got selected by \ttfamily in this MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
\ttfamily
\fontname\font

\the\fontdimen2\font

\the\fontdimen3\font

\the\fontdimen4\font
\end{document}

Without fontspec cmtt10 is selected and no problem,
with fontspec Latin Modern Mono, and there is problem.

As Herbert (and Will on the fontspec github site)
noticed, with fontspec+\setmonofont no problem.

Again, please disregard my earlier message,
