Yesterday I talked with james.su.
He thinks IMs and layouts should be consolidated and currently no plan to
release ibus-xkb-layouts.
I suggested to remove his patch from the branch since I pretty sure it's a
wrong patch but not sure.
His bad way is to set 'us' layout forcibly and use IBusEngineDesc.layout in
case of use_system_layout.

He suggested Mac OS X has the better implementation, interested.

But currently there are no European keyboards even though IBus will can handle
XKB.
I would think it's an idea to use ibus-xkb-layouts for European keyboards but
he pointed my approach was also wrong. Using Ctrl + Space is wrong and an
engine should have the fixed layout.
Probably I need to work on this to provide the better patch.
