Not many scripts (relatively speaking) use the kind of character
variation that needs composition (mostly arabic and many indic
scripts, but not cyrilic, I think).

But in any case, it is really common to deactivate font-locking while
programming? I think I've never done it unless I was specifically
trying to debug some problem with font-locking. Also, we're still a
long way from another release, I suppose. Plenty of time to receive
user complains and implement a more thorough fix, IMHO.
