It looks like latest Emacs release 24.4 is working OK for dead keys even
when XMODIFIERS is set to its default value of "@im=ibus" (Ubuntu 14.04,
Norwegian locale, Emacs compiled from source).

Title:
  Can't type accented characters anymore: <dead-acute> is undefined

Status in Emacs-snapshot for ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “emacs24” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When you type an accented character through a dead-key, you might get
  one of:

     <dead-acute> is undefined
    <dead-grave> is undefined
    <dead-tilde> is undefined
    <S-dead-tilde> is undefined
    <dead-diaeresis> is undefined
    <S-dead-diaeresis> is undefined

  or something similar.

  On the web, I found several workaround:

  1/ launch emacs with "XMODIFIERS='' emacs"
  2/ type C-x 8 RET RET once
  3/ add "(require 'iso-transl)" to your .emacs.d/init.el or .emacs file
