These are on purpose. d' == dhacek&&dcaron and l' == lhacek&&ldcaron,  
both have a changed hacek/caron to fit in the line (traditional)

\=d is dcroat&&dmacron&&dbar, using the same logic.

    Erik> What is "t: \t ae" supposed to yield? I get simply "t: ae".

It's the (totally missing) tie-after accent (texbook p52)
