Sorry, but I don't understand above. 
What exacly is pre-composed character and what is the difference between it
and combining character?

I hope that Kęstutis solution will fix the problem.
debian-installer/installer/build/needed-characters/README seems to be very
related to my problem.

I tried to commit pl file, but seems that there is something wrong with
svn.debian.org. I can't authenticate myself :/
There was probably some announce about it, but I'm quite busy right now,
and don't follow each discussion/mailing list.
