I have the very same issue but I don't think it's gnome-terminal
related. Please confirm restarting gnome itself doesn't help (as in:
alt+F2, type in letter "r" and press enter, you have to alt+tab twice
afterwards to regain focus on terminal), we will be sure then it really
is a gnome-terminal and not gnome issue.

Title:
  can't switch input method at all

Status in ibus:
  New
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Normally gnome-terminal allows the user to switch the input method by
  pressing a special key combination.

  Sometimes gnome-terminal gets into a state where it seems to ignore
  the special key combination for switching the input method in ibus -
  it is permanently locked in the default input method for English.
  There is no clear pattern of usage or trigger for when it happens.

  1. The problem is not solved by resetting the terminal using the menu Terminal -> Reset, or Terminal -> Reset and Clear
  2. The problem is also not solved even by starting a new gnome-terminal from the menu, File -> Open Terminal -> Default
  3. However, using the command-line to start a new terminal with the factory disabled does make input method switching work again:  gnome-terminal --disable-factory   but doing this obviously loses all the session information in the previous gnome-terminal.
  4. Also, when the problem occurs, opening a new tab re-enables the input mode to be switched in the new tab as well as in the original tab. However, the problem usually re-occurs soon in the original tab.

  This has been happening in all versions of Ubuntu since 10.04 until
  12.04.02 precise, with gnome-terminal up to and including version
  3.4.1.1-0ubuntu1 and ibus version 1.4.1-3ubuntu1

  This is a really annoying bug.
