I think there are two short-term ways of fixing this problem.
1. Extend the menu code so that a bitmap can be used as the icon in a menu
title (with the bitmap being scaled to suit the panel size).
2. Change iBus so that it converts the bitmap for each input method to a vector
graphic (consisting of lots of little squares), and then passes that vector
graphic to be used as the menu title.
The long-term way to fix the problem is to redraw the icon for each input
method as a genuine vector graphic, so that (a) it works regardless of panel
size, and (b) it uses symbolic icon colors, making it resilient to theme
changes. Many of these vector graphics could be functionally generated, as they
seem to be currently. Pseudocode examples:
icon(greek) = overlay_glyph_with_caption("Ω", "KBD")
icon(armenian) = overlay_glyph_with_caption("ក", "YNS")
