Switching to a different input method in the minibuffer sounds sensible
with this keyboard, but there's already a general method to do that:
(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook (lambda () (set-input-method "whatever")))
So I don't think there's anything further to be done in this bug report,
and I'm closing it. If there's something that should receive further
attention here, opening a new bug report about input methods (where
Latin text is expected) might be a good idea.
