composite character vs multi-lingual coding-system

[山本和彦]

Hello,

Suppose that composite characters are stored to a file with a
multi-lingual coding-system. An example is TIS-620 characters with
UTF-8 (or ctext).

When Emacs reads the file, the composite characters are not composed
since there is no post-conv function associated to the multi-lingual
coding-system.

Is this a bug?
