Not necessarily. You could always make a precomposed accidental-with-arrow glyph and switch to it on the <accidental, combining arrow> glyph sequence. Much like it's done with any other combining diacritic in a font that wants the diacritic to be joined to its base form more nicely than what's possible by the shaper's heuristics or anchoring mechanism.
