Doesn't apple by default use NFD (Normalizaion Form Decomposed) for
filenames?  That would explain the <vowel><box> sequences.

I suspect most others end up with NFC filenames.  And composition
seems much better in the emacs-unicode-2 branch than in HEAD.
(But still not perfect.  I sometimes get bad metrics on composed
glyphs; and sometimes they display as intended....)

Can you get at the actual octet-sequence of the filenames?
