That web page has becom inaccessible. I found another copy at http://
phpxref.org/docs/debian/ch09.en.html#anexampleforjapanese
That copy gave me the remaining clue I needed -- that it works in the
en_US.UTF-8 locale, but not the en_CA.UTF-8 locale, unless you add a line
to the ~/.scim/global or /etc/scim/global file to tell it en_CA.UTF-8 is
OK.
That example-for-japanese section doesn't seem to be available from the
more official-looking http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/
Has it been removed?
Section 9.7.9 of the http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ has a
discussion of how to set up X for Japanese, which would seem to interact
at a different level of the system, and seems rather more complicated
than the one described in an-example-for-japanese.
