Hi Micha,
Your idea that it was SCIM related was correct, however, it wasn't the patch that is the problem.
I tried rebuilding and installing gnucash as you suggested without the "10_fix_broken_SCIM_input_bug_587298" patch and it had no effect. However, I do run with SCIM installed (for use with other programs), and terminating it allowed both versions of gnucash to start working correctly (with and without the above patch). Restart the background daemon and gnucash immediately stops working correctly.
So the problem would appear to be SCIM related, but (not knowing the internals of gnucash), I do find it puzzling that the problem only affects transaction editing (register and scheduled transactions), but not any other dialogs that I have tried. I would have expected that all keyboard input to the program would behave the same.
