see :help patterns-composing

\Z anywhere in a pattern makes the whole pattern insensitive to
combining characters

\%C makes the immediately preceding atom (usually a letter) match
regardless of combining characters

Note: á (small latin a with acute U+00E1), á (small latin a U+0061
combining acute U+0301) and of course а́ (small cyrillic a U+0430
combining acute U+0301) are all different, none of them matches either
of the other two.

I'm aware of that. My problem is that "\<ánd\>" (with U+0061 + U+0301) also matches "and" without U+0301 without there being any explicit \Z in the pattern. I solved the task at hand by converting the files to NFC, doing the substitution on that and then converted the file back to NFD, but the behavior is strange and annoying.
