Hi

I wanted to test your problem but I have another issue, which is that
typing

'xb M-x 8 <RET> 302 <RET>ac'

the 'a' gets superimposed on top of the b in my Emacs buffer:

(see attached image)

As per your issue, it is going to be very hard in LaTeX to get the accent on 
top of previous letter. (I think, but my knowledge of Unicode is scarce). With 
LuaLaTeX that could be possible.

If really the combining accent is supposedly typed *after*  the letter (which 
sounds strange to me, but again, I am no Unicode-guy).

Best,

Jean-François
