Yes. It happens on IBus-enabled GNOME 3.6+ with IBus 1.5.4 if
IBus's engines (plug-ins) do not support new API introduced by
1.5.4.

Actually, this problem is not found by me, though. The upstream has
already announced in [1].

An IBus developer (Mr. Fuijiwara) says in [1]: "1.5.2 or lower do
not handle the input purpose so the typed chars are shown as the
bug." So I think the same problem may happen also on GNOME 3.6 +
IBus 1.5.2.

Hi,

One of our Japanese users found that some IBUS input methods show
passwords while typing them, if a special "intent" is not 
provided.
