We are not shipping *.la file as I understand in deb. If application
was conpiled with such option, that application should be the one to be
blamed as I understand. (Excuse me if I am wrong. I am not library guru.)

But if this is due to hidden problem in the unrelated software, it is
not. Until it is proven, let's be calm.
gedit used to crash since it was not initializing and closing process
properly. There were precidences. It was solved by the application
program side.
Since SCIM interact with IO tightly, it is prone to expose such hidden
issues.
I can not help much, though. If anyone can help, plese feed us with So
HELP us with patches.
