Some circumflex letters do not work, such as â and î. æ doesn't work either (Colemak, perhaps other layouts as well).

[krompus]

In Colemak, you attain the circumflex by hitting AltGr+x and then the letter you would like to apply it to.

î is attained by hitting AltGr+x and then i.

â is attained by hitting AltGr+x and then a.

æ is attained by hitting AltGr+z.

I noticed the issue when trying to type in French just now.

I tested all of the French accented characters with vim-rsi disabled, and again when enabled. These are the only three that are affected, and every one of them functions correctly without the plugin enabled.

I haven't tested these with any other layout, so it is unclear if other layouts are affected. It's possible that it has something to do with how they are composed in Colemak.

Obligatory mention that this problem does not exist in neovim.

Oh lovely.

Maybe it's time I finally switch to neovim then?

I can't reproduce. It was probably fixed by https://github.com/tpope/vim-rsi/commit/ad8ba6beae8e82339479104b914214a868c9f1fe.
