Sure enough!  Thanks.  I didn't even think to check the combining class,
both were marks above.

Doesn't this mean that it isn't possible to stack a combining circumflex
above a combining spanning inverted breve?  Does this mean we'd need 
double-wide clones of all the combining marks in order to support such
combos?

(Well, at least I can give up on trying to make it display right here.)
