I guess it's less tested as often only children's text and religious texts have the dots etc.
It's appalling and obviously a Kobo bug since the document works in ADE, and if you use epub rather than kepub, the Kobo is using essentially ADE.
It would certainly be very annoying. It's crazy how US Centric everything is. Non-Roman-latin fonts and mixed language display was a solved problem over 10 years before the first Kindle, including on the underlying Linux.
The Kindle DXG I have is only useable for Latin-Roman, with a few modern greek and Scandi glyphs. The Irish Health service can't do the Irish áéíóú at all. Words without mean something different.
The gh, ph, mh, bh, dh etc in Irish used to have a dot instead of h. It's the opposite sense to the same letters in Hebrew that take a dot for hard/soft. Also Irish historically had no dot on i to differentiate from í. The dots and dotless i were killed off by the English typewriter in the late Victorian era. It's nearly impossible to do Old Irish on a computer at all. There are only a few hard to find poorly done fonts.
The USA also seems to also ignore the vast proportion of Spanish speakers.
