They both render correctly here (Thunderbird 2.0.0.12).

Is there a good library for combining-character canonicalization
available?  That seems like something that would be useful to have in a
lot of text-processing tools.  Also, for Unicode, something to shuffle
between the normalization forms might be helpful for comparisons.

I may be misinterpreting your patch, but it seems to me that
decrementing count for zero-width characters could potentially lead to
confusion.  Not all zero-width characters are combining characters, right?
