When using XKB (such as when using Xorg) while logged in to an X session
using the "C" locale, if you hit a modifier key like shift during the
compose sequence it breaks the sequence.
So for instance, this sequence won't work:
[Compose] [o] [press shift] ["] [release shift]
but this one will:
[press shift] [Compose] [o] ["] [release shift]
(though of course the second one is capital Ö, instead of the lower case ö
from the first.)

Work Around
Login using a locale other than "C", such as a UTF-8 or ISO-8859 locale.
