There must be something at the VFS layer, or some other layer:
- IIRC, Joliet iso9660 volumes end up being mounted with files names in
  NFS when the real file names are NFC on the disk.
- Likewise for Samba shares.
- When I had my problems with iso9660 rockridge volumes using NFC (you
  can create that just fine with mkisofs), the volume is mounted without
  normalisation, i.e. if you get to a shell and want to access files,
  you must use NFC, but at least the Finder does transliteration at some
  stage, because going into the mount point and opening some files fail
  because it's trying to open the file with the name transliterated to
  NFD. I just hope the same doesn't happen with other filesystems.

Also, OSX using NFD widely, a file created from non Unix applications
may end up being named in NFD on any file system. File contents, too,
may end up being transliterated whenever a file is modified with non
Unix applications, introducing unwanted changes.
Typing file names in the Terminal might also make them encoded in NFD,
too.
