I tend to suspect this is an fcitx bug caused by some of the recent
changes to XIM support on master (Emacs is essentially the last
remaining XIM client that is actually used, along with WPS Office, so it
doesn't get very good support from modern input method frameworks.)

Please try launching Emacs with like below in turn, and tell with which
options fcitx remains broken:

  emacs -q -xrm 'Emacs.inputStyle: none'
  emacs -q -xrm 'Emacs.inputStyle: offthespot'
  emacs -q -xrm 'Emacs.inputStyle: overthespot'
  emacs -q -xrm 'Emacs.inputStyle: root'
  emacs -q -xrm 'Emacs.inputStyle: callback'

Thanks.
