I didn't confirm my own bug; Daniel Robitaille confirmed this bug ten months ago. I set it from 'Needs Info' back to 'Confirmed' because I answered the questions and figured that it no longer Needed Info. I don't have a "proper screenshot"; I don't have a browser that properly renders these, which is why I filed this bug.

These are the characters in question; I copied and pasted them from the text file linked in the initial bug report. They'll display properly (as three characters, each with a diacritical mark) in your browser, or they won't.

I've attached a screenshot of Firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.11-0ubuntu0.6.06.1 on Dapper, displaying this text both as fixed-width text in the main window, and as variable-width text in the quick-search bar at the upper right. You can see that the dots are above the letters v and r in the quick-search bar, and that the ring is almost above the capital lambda--it should be directly on top, but at least it's not a full character's width to the right like it is in the fixed-width font in the main window.
