Aaah; there is a fault in  xunicode.sty .
It should catch this conversion and map it back to the correct code- 
point.

Currently  xunicode.sty  has:

\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00EC}{\`}{i}
\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00ED}{\'}{i}
\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00EE}{\^}{i}
\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00EF}{\"}{i}

It should have 4 extra declarations, to become:

\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00EC}{\`}{i}
\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00EC}{\`}{\i}
\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00ED}{\'}{i}
\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00ED}{\'}{\i}
\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00EE}{\^}{i}
\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00EE}{\^}{\i}
\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00EF}{\"}{i}
\DeclareUTFcomposite[\UTFencname]{x00EF}{\"}{\i}

The other (TIPA) accents have the appropriate extra rules.
