"1. Long vowels are marked by a dot accent, so /laa/ is ᓛ. Long consonants

The various dialects of the language handle the consonant clusters
differently, and some writers may omit the first element of the cluster
altogether in their writing. "
This seems to conform my concerns. Inuktitut uses the dot accent, not the
small circle.
See the end of 2. The ring above is used for <Caai>. Similarly, a
downward oriented glyph is used for <Cai>.
Neither of these are part of the Inuktitut Cultural Institute's
orthographies. They would simply use <Caa> and <Ca> with a following <i>.
The original Unicode proposal for the script has a few details:

Updating the Bible itself to the standard orthography wouldn't be
unwarranted. Including the standard orthographic forms in the locale
file is really a necessity, whether the non-standard forms are included
or not.
