While the current combining classes may cause some difficulties for Biblical
scholars (and this isn't cut and dry yet - it isn't certain whether these
are Unicode problem, implementation problems, missing characters or
mis-identified characters), I have yet to see a claimed problem with pointed
Hebrew - I mean just the points, without cantillation marks, as used for
non-Biblical texts. And I don't count Microsoft's strange implementation
mentioned yesterday as a Unicode problem.
 

I'll have to recheck, but I think I found, last week, a Sephardic prayer 
book that had, in prayers that were pointed but not cantillated, 
"Yerushalayim" spelled without a yod before the final mem.  This may not 
be an example of what you're asking for; the prayer in question was 
probably Biblical text that wasn't printed with cantillations.
