Yeah, so I can confirm this still occurs even if I'm using straight out
ibus here. This was just a test I did to figure out another bug (solved
through .Xmodmap removal). I can still reproduce with this environment:
$ env | grep -e XMOD -e IM_
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT4_IM_MODULE=ibus
XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
CLUTTER_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

I ran im-config and it created the following .xinputrc:
$ cat .xinputrc
# im-config(8) generated on Wed, 16 Oct 2019 16:49:29 -0400
run_im ibus
# im-config signature: 6a80770f907c57e20cf92edb0751da12 -
I don't actually know what's setting those IM_MODULE variables above. I
don't have anything in my $HOME that sets those variables directly.

Yeah, that's what I figured as well. But I should mention that the
widget is different in GNOME vs (say) Emacs or rxvt. In GNOME it matches
the default GNOME theme (grey/black/blue and rounded corners) while in
my regular desktop, it's this white/gray thing. It doesn't seem like the
same widget at all.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here, but I can confirm I
reconfigured im-config and the problem still occurs.
I'd be happy to provide more information, screenshots or tests as
needed. I have a test user with a blank home which is especially useful
to test with, and I can run tests in a virtual machine as well if that's
useful.
