bug#1831: 23.0.60; Emacs.app cannot display acctended characters in *grep* buffer

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

When I grep through my XeLaTeX files Emacs.app fails to display file  
names correctly:

Emacs.app de-composed.pdf
Description: application/applefile

GNU Emacs 23.0.60 at least produces this look:

A similiar failure can be observed when typing <some character>C-q 0  
3 2 3 <some non-decimal event> or <some character>C-q 1 4 4 3 in  
octal. In GNU Emacs 23.0.60 C-q 0 3 2 3 produces a COMBINING DOT  
BELOW, which is combined with the previously typed character. In the  
end something ugly appears, as shown above. In Emacs.app only a blank  
spot is left. C-u C-x = shows:

                character: ̣ (803, #o1443, #x323)
        preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
               code point: 0x0323
                   syntax: w    which means: word
                 category: ^:Combining
        Combining diacritic or mark
              buffer code: #xCC #xA3
                file code: #xCC #xA3 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
                  display: composed to form "̣" (see below)
        
        Composed using this font:
	  nil:-apple-NimbusMonL-medium-normal-normal-Regular-10-*-*-*-*-*- 
iso10646-1
        by these glyphs:
          [0 0 803 0 6 0 5 5 0 [0 0 6]]
        
        Character code properties: customize what to show
          name: COMBINING DOT BELOW
          old-name: NON-SPACING DOT BELOW
          general-category: Mn (Mark, Nonspacing)
        
        There are text properties here:
          fontified            t

Using a font like Lucida Grande that has ọ, o, and COMBINING DOT  
BELOW, I cannot compose ọ from o and COMBINING DOT BELOW. Again, in  
GNU Emacs 23.0.60 this at least creates something ugly.
