Funny, but that gives me completely different broken behaviour.

im-config writes to ~/.xinputrc:

  # im-config(8) generated on Thu, 07 Aug 2014 08:26:49 +0200
  run_im xim
  # im-config signiture: 89512b7941127eeda7d3e3ac5703f05e  -

And then I indeed get the same environment variables as you. (en_US)

In other applications the input works like expected, regular compose and my
extra combinations. In chromium, the following happens:
- in the address bar, regular compose works, but my extra combinations *don't*
- as soon as I press enter in the address bar, the compose key stops working
  altogether: both keys of the combination get discarded
- however, after the third attempt at reproducing, the regular compose stopped
  working: chromium now consistently silently eats all compose characters, even
  at startup.

That last behavioural change sounded like a local config issue, but removing
~/.config/chromium did not resolve anything. 

Also, switching the compose key from right-alt to right-ctrl does what you'd expect:
- in all applications the compose key is changed
- in chromium, the composed keys -- now with right-ctrl -- are eaten
