St has code to deal with input methods. I cannot test it because
I am not user of such methods, but the code that deals with XIM is:

xinit():
        /* input methods */
        if((xw.xim = XOpenIM(xw.dpy, NULL, NULL, NULL)) == NULL) {
                XSetLocaleModifiers("_AT_im=local");
                if((xw.xim = XOpenIM(xw.dpy, NULL, NULL, NULL)) == NULL) {
                        XSetLocaleModifiers("_AT_im=");
                        if((xw.xim = XOpenIM(xw.dpy,
                                        NULL, NULL, NULL)) == NULL) {
                                die("XOpenIM failed. Could not open input"
                                        " device.\n");
                        }
                }
        }
        xw.xic = XCreateIC(xw.xim, XNInputStyle, XIMPreeditNothing
                                           | XIMStatusNothing, XNClientWindow, xw.win,
                                           XNFocusWindow, xw.win, NULL);
        if(xw.xic == NULL)
                die("XCreateIC failed. Could not obtain input method.\n");

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void
focus(XEvent *ev) {
        XFocusChangeEvent *e = &ev->xfocus;

        if(e->mode == NotifyGrab)
                return;

        if(ev->type == FocusIn) {
                XSetICFocus(xw.xic);
                xw.state |= WIN_FOCUSED;
                xseturgency(0);
                if(IS_SET(MODE_FOCUS))
                        ttywrite("\033[I", 3);
        } else {
                XUnsetICFocus(xw.xic);
                xw.state &= ~WIN_FOCUSED;
                if(IS_SET(MODE_FOCUS))
                        ttywrite("\033[O", 3);
        }
}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
kpress():
        len = XmbLookupString(xw.xic, e, buf, sizeof buf, &ksym, &status);
        /* 1. shortcuts */
        for(bp = shortcuts; bp < shortcuts + LEN(shortcuts); bp++) {
                if(ksym == bp->keysym && match(bp->mod, e->state)) {
                        bp->func(&(bp->arg));
                        return;
                }
        }

So I think it should work. With this information you can debug the issue.
