I believe it is an ibus-daemon bug. I had the problem at least in gnome-terminal, firefox (but not under Unity), thunderbird. I solved it less brutally than flushing the whole user DConf database by resetting one key:

dconf reset /org gnome/desktop/interface/gtk-im-module

which contained the value 'gtk-im-context-simple'.

It worked:

* for gnome-terminal after logging again, restarting the program wasn't enough.
* for Firefox and Thunderbird only after restarting the system. The only user program that didn't restart after a relog was 'ibus-daemon', hence I believe it is his bug.

What makes me wonder is why the Compose key worked on Firefox only under Unity and not GNOME 3. There might be a second bug there.
