Thanks for these details.

I did a bit of experimentation with a Ubutunu 14.10 remote host

ibus-daemon -drx
export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"

Gives me working ibus with xterm.

I couldn't get emacs working with ibus even locally, and setting that up 
seems to be a bit obscure.  Are you using ibus.el?

Chromium just works for me.
