Argh.

So with the following command:

   emacs -Q -font 'dejavu sans mono 12'

everything works properly!

but this:

   emacs -Q -font 'bitstream vera sans mono 12'

fails as I described before (most importantly, fails to combine
characters at all when auto-composition-mode is enabled).

This is pretty irritating, as Bitstream Vera Sans Mono seems to be what
Emacs uses by default on Debian...!
