Do you use a font that contains those two characters? Then it would
classify as a bug, otherwise...

... it is expected, since groff doesn't have a mechanism to
automatically construct stacked diacritics. In other words, you have
to provide
.char \[u0065_0323_0302] ...
.char \[u0061_0302_0301] ...
...
by yourself.
