STDOUT is output for piping data and im-config uses it for that purpose.

Errors and informational context messages should go to STDERR.

.xsession-errors just record everything on STDERR.  (im-config does not
set file name.)

If you have reference which supports your view of this being bug, please
file bug in Debian.

By the way, I do not see .xsession-errors in my home directory anymore
on my jessie(Debian).
