There’s no available combining stroke in current Unicode; Đ maps to itself
in decomposed form, while š maps to U+0073 U+030C. 

I can’t actually get the problem to reproduce itself outside the context of
that test. I imagine, though, that you’ve been seeing the test failure too,
unless your /tmp/ directory is on a UFS mount.

Another bit of awkwardness is that our mule-category.el design differs
slightly from that of GNU, and I don’t understand why enough right now to
abandon ours or to work out how to map GNU’s functionality to our
design. Ben, I imagine you don’t have at the front of your consciousness
right now, but if you’ve anything to comment on it, I’d love to hear it.
