It quite possibly is.  disp-table.el was introduced before multibyte
characters, and most commands in it should not be used in multibyte
buffers, as they assume unibyte characters.

We know for a long time that glyph codes and glyph tables should be
redesigned.  Specifying a face by high-order bits of a character code
is an ugly kludge.
