This was reported upstream (apparently it also affects UIM and IBus): http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-03/msg00867.html resulting in four upstream patches: http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/revision/116856.1.1 http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/revision/116856.1.2 http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/revision/116856.1.3 http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/revision/116856.1.4 also known as 10b7c08..b38653c in emacs.git.
I just tested that adding these four patches fixes the problem on Ubuntu utopic.
