no, it's the intended behaviour of markup.
It could be possible to write a markup function that concatenates markup
words, something like \concatenate { "sym" \eaigu "trique" }. I think such a
function would be fairly easy to write, but I don't know because I haven't
looked at the code. It might be a sponsorable feature.

Sorry for not replying. I don't consider this a bug; that behaviour is
intended.
