For the record, the original title was: “IDNs containing Unicode combining marks should be displayed in Punycoded form”.

I disagree that’s something you “certainly can’t do” — every other browser seems to do it.

> […] after all, the whole purpose of IDN is to allow domain names in languages other than English […]

The domain names would still work when entered in their raw Unicode form. apple͢.com in the address bar would still resolve to xn--apple-xvd.com. This bug is purely about the way the domains are displayed in the address bar.
