I think we see the same behavior: After typing the dead key, only a
space or another dead key makes the "´" to show up.  But if you've
typed a second dead key, it will be "pending" until you type again a
space or a third dead key.

Anyway, it is definitely a bug.  If you need me to provide more data
or make some test, just ask.

Thank you.
