This seems to be a separate bug which is not related to whether the
default is mozc or anthy. The bug is: if the default input method is
an ibus engine, then its label is the internal name of the ibus engine
instead of the expected display name.

If I *don't* apply the patch proposed on #1029821, then the non-default
mozc-jp engine is correctly shown as "Japanese (Mozc)" in an English
locale, but the default anthy engine is wrongly shown as "anthy" instead
of the expected "Japanese (Anthy)".

If I *do* apply the patch proposed on #1029821, then the situation is
reversed: the non-default anthy is correctly shown as "Japanese (Anthy)",
but the default mozc-jp is wrongly shown as "mozc-jp" instead of the
expected "Japanese (Mozc)".

If I run gnome-initial-setup as
"LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=ja_JP /usr/libexec/gnome-initial-setup"
then I get similar results, but with Japanese text (and in particular
"日本語" instead of "Japanese").
