As far as I understand, input methods were not designed to do what you 
want to do, so while this is not what you expect, it's how things work. 
And indeed, C-x C-c is save-buffers-kill-emacs, which calls 
save-some-buffers, which uses map-y-or-n-p.

Indeed, it is possible (and perhaps easier for your use case) to reverse 
the logic.  I'd guess that you'll find other commands to add to that list 
as time goes.
