Having a Multi_key-like input method makes sense to me.  I don't get
this bit, though:

`C-x \' doesn't seem to be bound in this Emacs, and your input method
doesn't bind it either?  There's probably something trivial here I'm
missing; I'm not really familiar with the Quail stuff.  Or did you mean
`C-x C-m C-\'?
