Rightly so.

When you pull the whole document out, does it have the combining
character? If so, the MarkLogic XSLT implementation is broken. If not,
then the storage subsystem is not disgorging the same XML document that
it swallowed, but one that is -- in the Unicode sense -- canonically
equivalent to it. Of course, there is nothing prohibiting this in either
the XML or the XSLT spec.
