This could be a bug.  Both f3*f2 and f2*f1 work ok, returning
"Composite maps".  Also (f3*f2)*(f2*f1) works (not what you want of
course.  It looks to me as if the people who implemented Composite
maps did not define the * operator to work with a combination of
Composite and ordinary maps.

Silly workaround:
sage: id = H([x,y,z])
sage: (f3*f2)*(f1*id)
Composite map:
  From: Closed subscheme of Affine Space of dimension 3 over Rational
Field defined by:
  -3*x*y*z + x^2 + y^2 + z^2
  To:   Closed subscheme of Affine Space of dimension 3 over Rational
Field defined by:
  -3*x*y*z + x^2 + y^2 + z^2
  Defn:   Generic endomorphism of Closed subscheme of Affine Space of
dimension 3 over Rational Field defined by:
          -3*x*y*z + x^2 + y^2 + z^2
        then
          Generic endomorphism of Closed subscheme of Affine Space of
dimension 3 over Rational Field defined by:
          -3*x*y*z + x^2 + y^2 + z^2
        then
          Generic endomorphism of Closed subscheme of Affine Space of
dimension 3 over Rational Field defined by:
          -3*x*y*z + x^2 + y^2 + z^2
        then
