What do you mean by "Noto web fonts behave like this"? Whether dead keys are enabled is a property of your system / input method.

The standard en_us linux config does [alt+\] [a] = à instead for example. (unless you choose a keyboard layout)

That is what would make sense however that is not the case. I should have been clearer and used the term "package" after font:

Local fonts package installed: http://i.imgur.com/ycRs3A0.png

No Local fonts package installed: http://i.imgur.com/TUKsIY4.png

That's weird. The package seems to include the ttf files only... https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/noto-fonts/

It is seemingly to do with how the "web fonts" are implemented by browsers. For more weirdness look here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12656642
