This is something that I want to work, but I'm afraid I have no 
experience using IMEs, so I'm not sure what needs doing, which is why 
the section [1] in the User's Guide is currently empty.  I hope you can 
help me with identifying what that needs to say!

I believe it should possible to start your IME (ibus, scim, etc.) in the 
remote sessions and have that work.

Alternatively, there was some work done a while ago to provide a bridge 
between the native Windows IME and the server, which I believe allowed 
using the native Windows IME to input into X windows.  If that is 
useful, I can probably bring that up to date.
