Unfortunately I think you're probably encountering this issue: https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/30
which is due to a bug in Java that is still unresolved (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8016255). Java 8 is generating a key release event for certain dead keys but not a key press event. I wasn't able to make the dead grave accent or dead acute accent keys on a French keyboard layout work properly in Ubuntu 18.04 at all, even without TurboVNC. However, I was able to reproduce the issue by using the dead circumflex/dead diaeresis key. As with other international keyboard issues, the long-term solution for this will be to implement https://github.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/issues/108 which is currently in need of funding.
