Some comments here:
 
* Although there are claims that this applies to French, etc,
  it's really a pt_BR specific bug. Not because c-cedilla is
  at all specific to Portuguese, but because the us-intl keymap,
  which requires this combination to produce c-cedilla, is
  used pretty much exclusively in Brazil. 

  I've seen lots of complaints about this problem, and they
  are all from Brazilian Portuguese speakers.

  For this reason, I think a separate pt_BR.UTF-8 Compose
  file is an appropriate solution.

* I think changing en_US.UTF-8's LC_LOCALE would be a mistake;
  in a language neutral compose table, producing c-with-acute
  is the only sensible result.

* There is some discussion of corresponding GTK+ bug (GTK+ doesn't
  use XIM compose tables by default) at:

    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111334
   
  Gustavo De Nardin has contributed the necessary code for a
  input method that has the changed cedilla, and I'll be adding
  that to future releases of GTK+ as the default for  LC_CTYPE=pt_*.

Regards,
                                        Owen
