Found it. Emacs' XCreateIC is failing because we pass an
XNStatusAttributes; omitting this parameter makes the compose system
work fine. Let me see whether omitting this parameter has any side
effects; if it doesn't, I'll check in a patch to retry XCreateIC without
XNStatusAttributes if the first call fails.
