It is indeed a limitation of X. I get round it on Ubuntu by using
IBus and KMFL (Keyman for Linux), which then allows me to use dead keys
for sequences, something which is (or used to be) beyond MSKLC.

However, what you probably need is a 'monospace' font where c h is
displayed as a ligature and c CGJ h is not! Incidentally, you can even
use KMFL to generate c CGJ h for the 2-key sequence c h.
