I agree with you about rendering.

However is this another special case for the upper to lower case mappings?

upper(LATIN SMALL LETTER I + DOT ABOVE + another combiner above) is
LATIN CAPTIAL LETTER I + another combiner above (a general rule?)

lower(LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I + combiner above) is (in some locales)
LATIN SMALL LETTER I + DOT ABOVE + combiner above.

The rule format SpecialCasing doesn't seem to handle this.
