My compose key (left-win, here) works out of the box in all fields of the editor I've tested (main window, search-replace, file-name, search in preview), so it seems that it's not a Qt or calibre issue (I've tested …, —, œ, and some others). Maybe Qt doesn't like the Shift-Lock as a compose key?
I like your idea of linking L-Shift + R-Shift to Shift-Lock! What is your keymap to do so?

I think Compose is an ancient UNIX/Solaris thing, though AltGr now makes many of the accented characters simpler.

I totally disagree with this, compose key is an actual and useful feature, and is one of the magic of linux. If you were writing in a non-english language, you'll find a lot of useful char. accessible only with either compose key or Ctrl-u <unicode>, the former being much easier. In fact, I'm using it all the time.
