Thanks for the quick update.  It basically works.  However, if I don't have the
gconf key /desktop/ibus/general/use-xmodmap, loading the extension fails with:

TypeError: this._config.get_value('general', 'use-xmodmap',
GLib.Variant.new_boolean(true)) is null

It seems that this is because get_value()'s 3rd arg is only available in the
Python binding and not in GI.  I added the following to ibusPanel.js to work
around this:

// patch IBus.Config.get_value to accept defval argument
IBus.Config.prototype._get_value = IBus.Config.prototype.get_value;
IBus.Config.prototype.get_value = function(section, name, defval) {
    let value = this._get_value (section, name);
    if (value == null)
        return defval;
    return value;
};

Also, is it intentional that "-" is used instead of "_" in the gconf key?

Fully agreed.  FWIW, for the case described in the report (i.e. Zenkaku_Hankaku
as Escape), I requested a new XKB option:
