'Set input mode to X' commands do not work while input mode is set to "Direct Input"

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install ibus-mozc 1.15.1864.102 into Ubuntu 14.04
2. Create a custom keymap with the following short cut.
   { Mode:"DirectInput", Key:"Ctrl j", Command:"Set input mode to full-width katakana" }
3. Reboot
4. Launch gedit and select Mozc.
5. Hit Ctrl-j.

What is the expected output?
Just after step 4, Mozc is in Direct Input mode.
Just after step 5, Mozc is in Full-width Katakana mode.

What do you see instead?
Just after step 4, Mozc is in Direct Input mode.
Just after step 5, Mozc is still in Direct Input mode.

Note that imm32-mozc and tsf-mozc do not have this limitation.

In fact, these commands have been intentionally disabled in Direct Input mode 
because they are not ready.

Having said, I guess ibus-mozc, NaCl Mozc and Android mozc are now ready to 
enable these commands. Let's relax the condition to see what will happen.
