There is something with that layout. With that enabled I can reproduce
the problem. Both on jammy and impish.

It doesn't work for me with the "English (Dvorak, alt. intl.)" layout.
Unlike when using for instance the Swedish or "English (US, intl., with
dead keys)" layout, 'compose:ralt' does not override the layout's
default definition of "Right Alt" as the 3rd level key. Can it be some
kind of race condition?
So it seems to be the combination of Right Alt as compose key and the
English (Dvorak, alt. intl.) layout which does not work. I changed the
bug title accordingly.
And AFAICT gnome-control-center sets the expected XKB options, so it's
not a g-c-c bug. Maybe an xkeyboard-config bug.
@Steve: Are we agreed on this problem description?
