Thanks.

This is strange.  I'm CC'ing Handa-san, perhaps there's some issue in
libm17n-flt or its database for this case.

For the record, the composition works for me on MS-Windows using the
Arial Unicode MS font, and the composition data looks quite different
(and makes much more sense to me) than what the OP shows:

  Composed with the following character(s) "̷" using this font:
    uniscribe:-outline-Arial Unicode MS-normal-normal-normal-sans-13-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
  by these glyphs:
    [0 1 111 82 7 1 6 14 4 nil]
    [0 1 823 671 0 -5 -2 14 4 nil]

The OP said the composition data he gets is this:

  Composed with the following character(s) "̷" using this font:
    xft:-PfEd-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1
  by these glyphs:
    [0 1 111 82 8 1 7 7 0 nil]
    [0 1 823 703 8 0 8 8 1 nil]

and the offsets in the second vector look wrong to me, FWIW.
