I knew how it will look, I wanted _you_ to see it. ;-)

This is the crucial part:

That's why this displays differently: it uses a composition rule,
which makes the display engine take a different path through the code.

This means that there's a hole in our machinery that takes care of
terminals incapable of displaying these characters: that machinery
doesn't catch auto-composed characters.

This doesn't explain why you see the original problem, but it should
explain why "C-u C-x =" shows the Unicode characters nonetheless.
