Sure. And rightfully, they "Å" is *not* (I repeat: not)
normalized as "A", under NFD:

py> unicodedata.normalize("NFD", u"Å")
u'A\u030a'

They are different letters also in the Unicode world.

I think the confusion comes from your assumption that
normalizing "Å" produces "A". It does not. Really not.
