Since RightAlt is not a modifier you need to type it separately.  If you
write RightAlt-' it looks like RightAlt modifies the ' key, and I was
assuming that produces <dead_acute>.

That explains it.  pt_BR.UTF-8/Compose says that <Multi_key> <acute> <C>
produces "Ć" (unlike <dead_acute> <C>, which is supposed to produce
"Ç").
