No, it shouldn't depend on that. troff does an early pass where is constructs a precomposed glyph from the base character and the combining characters, and should do (does not yet do in the case of devhtml and devutf8) a pass in the postprocessor where it uses precomposed Unicode characters where available. This is necessary so that line breaking does not accidentally cut off a combining character from its base character. This must work independently of the output device. You don't want for example that <U+0078><U+0302><U+0301> behaves different regarding line breaking than <U+0065><U+0302><U+0301>.
