With GnuCash installed and IBus running, I could not type into the fields of GnuCash, simply all keystrokes are omitted. However, both selecting dates by mouse clicks and pasting strings by access key do work. When IBus is turned off, everything is fine.

I would rather say it's a GnuCash issue instead of IBus bug, since updating GnuCash to the development branch 2.3.x solved this issue for me.
This is probably obsolete now since we have much newer gnucash versions
