This discussion belongs on cocoa-dev; coretext-dev is a discussion list for the CoreText API.

That being said: your input client’s NSTextView subview has its own editing session, so the input method won’t try to compose text (that is, setMarkedRange: is an appearance attribute only and doesn’t affect how the system interprets user input). Why are you inserting a subview like this? If it’s just to get the yellow-highlight/thick-underline behavior, you should implement that yourself in your input client.
