 A possible explanation is that you didn't added

include "%L"

 at the beginning of you ~/.XCompose.

 There could be other variants, though. If that does not helps --
it will be good to say exactly what are you typing with dead_cir-
cumflex,  what  is  the usual sequence of unicode characters is a
result of typing, what is your locale  name  and  what  xev  says
about your text.
