I'm glad to see some activity on this report, however I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate further, because I installed a fresh 16.04 since then.
All I can say is I chrooted on the root partition from a live CD and tried to upgrade with apt, and figured the installation was completely broken with unsolvable conflicts. Not only fcitx, but dozens of dependencies.
Sorry I can't give more insight, I didn't have much time to investigate further and it didn't occur to me to keep logs.
