Thanks for your report!

Hmm... That wiki page you referred to was last edited 11 years ago and is obsolete to a large extent.

Today, on an Ubuntu system, it's normally GTK (not IBus, so I'm closing this bug report) which deals with rules in the ~/.XCompose file. I can confirm that GTK does not seem to be able to handle multi character strings. But if I switch to XIM it works for me.

* Open Language Support and change the "Keyboard input method
  system" to "XIM"

* Reboot

Please note, though, that replacing "IBus" with "XIM" may result in other subtle issues.
