I see your concern.  I want live media to be useful, too ;-)

I never saw such thing.

I am using ibus with Gnome on my Desktop and I see no pop-up.  It may be
because I already activate ibus for my Japanese input.

My problem is 3 folds:
 * I don't see your problem here.
 * I don't know why upstream placed such thing.
 * I don't know which part of the code is causing problem.

Also, are you sure the problem coming from ibus-gtk3 (not from ibus).

Your help to identify the source of problem is highly appreciated.
