I am unable to reproduce this issue with the information you have
provided, using Debian Testing today.

I was able to use my Compose key (which I enabled and set to Right
Alt) in my en_US layout.

I disabled the Compose key and then I switched my layout to Belgian. I
was then able to get an ê by typing Right Alt+^ , e . (The ^ character
is the key to the right of the p key, represented as an [ on my en_US
keyboard.)

Thank you,
