Interesting.  Is the correct input method applied when you restart
Emacs?

And if so, can you please set a breakpoint here, in this snippet of
xterm.c:

      if (event->type == dpyinfo->xkb_event_type)
	{
	  XkbEvent *xkbevent = (XkbEvent *) event;

	  if (xkbevent->any.xkb_type == XkbNewKeyboardNotify
	      || xkbevent->any.xkb_type == XkbMapNotify)
	    {
	      if (dpyinfo->xkb_desc)
		{
		  if (XkbGetUpdatedMap (dpyinfo->display,
					(XkbKeySymsMask
					 | XkbKeyTypesMask
					 | XkbModifierMapMask
					 | XkbVirtualModsMask),
					dpyinfo->xkb_desc) == Success)
		    {
--->		      XkbGetNames (dpyinfo->display,
				   XkbGroupNamesMask | XkbVirtualModNamesMask,
				   dpyinfo->xkb_desc);
		    }
		  else
		    {
		      XkbFreeKeyboard (dpyinfo->xkb_desc, XkbAllComponentsMask, True);
		      dpyinfo->xkb_desc = NULL;
		    }

		  x_find_modifier_meanings (dpyinfo);
		}
	    }
	}

And see if it is hit by you switching input methods?  Thanks in advance.

Sure, make sure to add me to the X-Debbugs-Cc header.  You can read more
