It seems it is somehow related to Wayland session - bug appears when Wayland session is enabled, and if I switch to X11 session, bug disappears.

When I manually added these variables to /etc/environment file, accents started to work properly in Wayland session:

INPUT_METHOD=ibus
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
