Indeed, in `quail-input-method` I see we have some ad-hoc support for
`C-u` which has not been made more generic to support other transient
keymaps.

I suspect all it takes is to change the:

                   (not (eq (cadr overriding-terminal-local-map)
                            universal-argument-map))

so it recognizes any transient keymap rather than only
`universal-argument-map`.

IOW define something like a `keymap-transient-p` function, use it there,
and make sure the keymaps installed by `set-transient-map` are recognized
by that new function.
