I confess that I somehow assumed that that was what we were doing.
But I agree that it doesn't work.

A bigger problem with doing things in that order would be that two
local parts that were NFKC-equivalent might map to different ACE
local-parts, since they may get segmented differently.  So I agree
that segment-then-nameprep is out of the question, at least unless you
had an extra step of converting to NFKC first.
