While I can't answer this question, it may be worth mentioning RFC 3987 which might not be directly applicable but also deals with the representation of non-ASCII data in URIs.

In section 3 it explicitly asks for NFC-normalization _before_ applying percent-encoding. I can't tell what's the rationale behind this decision but possibly the behaviour of URI.toASCIIString() is in the spirit of these rules.
