I had to try it out to determine what you meant, but I reproduced the problem 
in Windows 7 64-bit, running Vim 7.3.822.

Better problem description:

With text:

  one combinations two combinations three

Executing :%s#combinations#œ̄ṣ́#g directly, will correctly replace the text 
with:

  one œ̄ṣ́ two œ̄ṣ́ three

But saving "%s#combinations#œ̄ṣ́#g" to register w, and then executing with :@w, 
results in:

  one œṣ two œṣ three

Note the lack of combining characters in the resulting text.

At this point, :reg w shows:

--- Registers ---
"w   %s#combinations#œ̄ṣ́#g

So the register value was set properly, this seems like a problem in Vim.

This all happens with gvim -N -u NONE -i NONE, after only setting encoding to 
utf-8 and setting an appropriate font.
