It's hard to tell.  You show the sequences of codepoints, and
presumably expect everyone who reads the mail to see the same display
as on your machine?  But that is not a reliable assumption, especially
if there's some bug involved.  So images would be much better.

In general, we allow to use DEL to delete the codepoints that were
composed into a single grapheme cluster, one codepoint at a time, and
that's a feature, because otherwise it would be very cumbersome to
convert one sequence into a similar but different one: you'd need to
delete everything and retype from scratch.  If that is what you see,
then yes, it's expected and intentional behavior, not a bug.
