It seems to me this bug is a little different from the bug #1786344.
Comment #10 of the bug #1786344 you wrote could be related this bug,
but other comments may be related to other problem on inputting chinese.

This bug occurs only after maybe-ubiquity mode(ubiquity --greeter).
According to the bug #1766047, it's impossible to boot in maybe-ubiquity mode
when booting in UEFI. So this bug occurs when booting in legacy BIOS.
When choosing 日本語(Japanese) on isolinux menu and select
インストールせずにUbuntuを試してみる(Try Ubuntu without installing),
I can use Mozc without problems on live session.
dconf shows ('ibus', 'mozc-jp') for input-sources as follows.
This is totally expected behavior.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/

But when waiting for ubiquity greeter dialog, select 日本語(Japanese), click
Ubuntuを試す(Try Ubuntu),
I can't use Mozc on live session.
no ('ibus', 'mozc-jp') for input-sources and rarely used Japanese input sources
are listed as follows.

'jp+dvorak')]

I tried selecting other languages, the result is as follows.
Select Simplified Chinese on isolinux menu:
--
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/cmdline
file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd quiet splash
--- locale=zh_CN keyboard-configuration/layoutcode?=cn
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/
[/]
sources=[('xkb', 'cn'), ('ibus', 'libpinyin')]
xkb-options=['lv3:ralt_switch']

I don't know this is ideal settings for Chinese or not, but it includes
('ibus', 'libpinyin') anyway.
Select Simplified Chinese on Ubiquity Greeter:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/cmdline

Only [('xkb', 'cn')] is. This is the same as comment #10 of bug #1786344.
