Judging by the location (in your user directory) and by the fact that
searching with apt-file on Bullseye turns up neither ibus.elc nor
ibus.el, I don't think that ibus.elc or its source file, ibus.el is in
Bullseye, and so likely not in Debian testing. Nor did I find anything
by searching for an emacs ibus package. I suspect you got it from
somewhere else. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/IBusMode I suspect you
did a manual installation.

Emacs can run byte-compiled files without having the source files
handy. Did you mean ibus.elc here?

The acid test is whether you can run without the source file. I'm
pretty sure you can ignore the warning. I would try it.
As for filing a bug report, I don't know where you got ibus.elc, so
can't advise you.
