The tipa package seems indeed to be the culprit... That's a pity, 
because tipa is the best package for IPA fonts I've ever tried -true: 
it doesn't use Unicode (although the ucs package allows for a "tipa" 
option), but does exploit all TeX "programmability": e.g., no Unicode 
font will ever be able to contain all the theoretically possible 
combinations of Chao's "tone letters", but, of course, TeX can 
"generate" any of them...
