Same here and ibus working OK here with GNOME3 started by GDM3.  What DE

I used to use ibus with ibus-anthy.  Now I am using it with ibus-kkc
(not yet in unstable).

So we use different engin.

ibus-pinyin has bug
  #746969 [src:ibus-pinyin] ibus-pinyin depends on Gobject Introspection
 ==> Can you install gobject-introspection package?

I have both ibus-m17n and ibus-pinyin installed.  So they should not
break system foy you.

If you are using ibus-setup to set, it may not be working... I did not
use it.
