Description

### Describe the bug

I created an LDML keyboard with `` and then exposed it in the keyboard in an alt modifier layer. I then got a series of unexpected character deletions:

e.g. in Google Drive:

```
Typed: m alt+. n+alt+.
Received: "ṇ"
Expected: "ṃṇ"

and in the search bar:
Typed: m alt+.
Received: "mṃ"
Expected: "ṃṇ"
```

This is also reproducible in https://keymanweb.com/ but the error was not reproduced in the "Notes" Mac app.

### Reproduce the bug

Here's the basic LDML keyboard that can be compiled to reproduce the error by typing the keys described above.

```xml
