This works fine for me, in fact, I do it all the time.

e.g., with GtkIMContextSimple, I can enter ü as
<AltGR>{ + u     [ <AltGR>{ ==dead_diaeresis ]

and å as:

<AltGR><Shift>{ + a    [ <AltGR><Shift>{ == dead_above_ring ]

Are you sure that the keysym you are getting is actually asciicircum,
not, say, dead_circumflex?
