Not sure if any of this gnome language stuff is going to cause us issue like it has in the past. re trusty LTS bug(s)

Never really sure about any gnome statements that it ' only affects us' things anymore, consequently forwarding to us.

starting to think the same about mainbuntu - don't believe anything deliberate, but fairly sure they'd not check either.

Right. Choosing ibus-sunpinyin was not preceded by any deeper considerations. It was the preferred input method last time Ubuntu's default IM framework for Simplified Chinese was IBus, and has been pulled by language-selector (pkg_depends) after that for Ubuntu GNOME.

This package hasn't been updated since 2013.  Previously we've added
it to the desktop session and then removed for ibus-pinyin for size
(and in this case it seems better maintained).

GNOME seems to default to ibus-libpinyin:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-desktop/tree/libgnome-desktop/default-input-sources.h

That would speak for replacing ibus-sunpinyin with ibus-libpinyin on both the live CD and language-selector. But we should probably try to get opinions from some Chinese users before making this change.
