Good guess. It seems as if the data in compose_status wont be changed when
I press e.g. an arrow key. Therefore if I try to press an arrow key right
after finishing a compose sequence compose_status.chars_matched is still set
to 3. Thus the if statement, you pointed me to, will be executed:

          if (compose_status.chars_matched > 0 && nbytes == 0)
            break;

It works, if I reset compose_status, once a compose sequence is complete,
i.e. if I change the line above to (not very nice, I know, since it uses the
internals of compose_status):

            if (compose_status.chars_matched > 0)
            {
              if (nbytes == 0)
                break;
              else if (compose_status.chars_matched == 3)
                compose_status.chars_matched = 0;
            }
