You are right absolutely. It must work.
I am surprised why nobody still mention it.
A Compose file usually used for combining a locale charset symbol from a
sequence of keysyms. But it seems nobody remeber that the result string
can be as long as you need. ( Actually it limited about 128 codes, but
it is 'plenty of space'.)

All applications which use X{mb|wc|utf8}LookupString or toolkits that
rely on their output should work correctly.
