Maybe it's not relevant here, but I don't know what you mean by a  
"composed" glyph compared to a "prepared" one.

I tried this with Minion Pro, and it seems to work fine for me:

I'm running a newer version of xetex (the current development code),

case.

When you try Minion Pro, does the log file show a "missing character"  
warning?
