They are not composed because Emacs didn't find a glyph in the Monaco
font for the COMBINING OVERLINE character.  Emacs only composes
characters if they have glyphs in the same font.

For the same reason.

(On my system, with a different font, they _are_ composed.)

This can only happen if some other software involved in the display
(Cairo?) composes them.  In any case, this is not an Emacs issue.

Which might mean the hintstyle=none may be a factor here?

Anyway, I see no Emacs problems in your description, only font
problems.  The text you sent is displayed correctly on my system, both
of its lines.
