Ah, so that's what Coronis is supposed to be? As in KAGW? But in that case
it is definitely an error in Unicode as code 1FBD is defined as a spacing
character, not a diacritic. Since Yannis doesn't mention this as a problem,
I assume he is happy with using for this vowels precomposed with smooth
breathing.
