Probably I think your problem won't happen when you reboot the system after you
complete the installation with the user creation.
It might be a liveuser issue.
Running ibus itself with gdm should be no problem.

I guess the password handing might has an issue.

Could you report your issue to the gnome-shell upstream?

The issue was reported for an installation and I can reproduce in a VM
installation.

Though it can also be reproduced with F41 WS Live (after switching locale to
CJK in gnome-control-center).

I agree it should be reported upstream (though so far I couldn't reproduce with
Ubuntu 24.10 or c10s).
