OK, so that's the magic nugget that allows me to reproduce your symptoms.

And I quickly checked, and it *is* rev 1611 that is causing your issue. That's really annoying, because that was added to stop IBus screwing up dead-key combos for characters with diacritics. God! Input in Linux is a mess! OK, I'm setting to Triaged, but I'm going to have to think about how (if?) we can fix this in a way that isn't trading off one method against the other.

Is there a particular reason for using this method. It's a fairly... nerdy way of doing it.

Good feedback, that got us to the source of the problem though. Thanks!
