We could normalize only when input method input is accepted (including the possible premature accept when changing focus or submitting while an input method marked region is still active). That would probably avoid confusing input methods.

I'm guessing this is a hard sell since for Windows browsers this is more likely to create than resolve compat issues, since it would only make a difference in the programmatic entry case.
