it's still possible for the server and client to have different
ideas about how a hostname or path are represented, right? With one
using a composed form and the other a decomposed form?

Not right. RFC 5891, the standard for IDN, states that "By the time astring enters the IDNA registration process as described in thisspecification, it MUST be in Unicode and in Normalization Form C (NFC[Unicode-UAX15])." So, at least the hostname has no problem.
