Actually it seems that the tie accent does not get used in text:

-------------- next part --------------
Skipped content of type multipart/appledouble-------------- next part --------------


This is Lucida Sans. nfssfont.tex reveals that all four tie accents are 
known. They come from U+2040 because 'dead key' U+0361 is not defined 
in the TrueType font.

On the other hand I really wonder why \emph{} or \textit{} use the 
wrong ligatures ...

None.
They just redefine "dark" as the new standard.
