Is there any application out there that does combine these 2
characters, with any font? If not, perhaps it's not an Emacs issue
after all.
E.g., Code2000, which is really good, produces a composed character
for a followed by u+20d0, but not for a followed by u+20e4. You can
experiment with other combining diacriticals from that Unicode block,
and you will see that some of them combine, while others do not.
If the fonts do not tell us to combine characters, the only way to do
that is to provide an Emacs composition rule for those characters.

If you mean the incorrect display of the lone u+20e4, then I just
installed the STIX fonts (from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts/files/?source=navbar) on my
Windows box, and didn't see any problems as originally reported here.
Can you install the latest STIX fonts and try with that on NS? If the
problem persists, then I agree that nsfont.m is probably the culprit.

You can always use "C-x 8 RET" to type the characters, so I don't see
why the key sequences would be an issue.
