Sorry, I'm running on Debian testing (libpango-1.0 package version
1.36.8-3) and using it through GObject introspection from python
(although that's probably not the issue here). Apart from setting up the
whole CairoSurface and Layout shebang the code boils down to
set_font_description/set_text/show_layout.

The font family used is GFS Philostratos, although the issue persists
only with GFS fonts as I'm realizing just now. Using DejaVu Sans output
is independent of normalization form. Is this to be expected? The
documentation is mute about such points (and in general about how it's
supposed to be used).

All Best,
Ben
