I'm pretty sure this is related to the way Ubuntu uses ibus (which also leads to custom keyboard shortcuts not working) so I would say this is not suitable for upstreaming.

I currently have no machine to put utopic on so I cannot test this. I just wanted to help out get this resolved quickly and have this ready for 14.04.2 as it is a huge problem for non-english users. This is especially bad for corporate users who rely on Ubuntu for their work. It is only one dconf setting that was changed in 13.10 and immediately lead to the issue. It should have never made it into 14.04 but it did.
