Which IME method are you using?
I confess I don't use IME and didn't think about testing it, but now I
did with fcitx and while it seems to work for most other programs, I
can't spawn it with dmenu with or without the changes you're
questioning.

Could you provide me with more details about your setup so we can
reproduce the issue?

There are several ways to do it.
