Please substitute paths by store paths. The intention is to make sure that 
im-config always keeps doing the same thing every time it is invoked.

To do that you can add a phase by:

(arguments
 `(#:phases
   (modify-phases %standard-phases
     (add-after 'unpack 'patch-paths
       (lambda* (#:key inputs outputs #:allow-other-keys)
         (substitute* "im-config"
           (("/usr/bin/fcitx") (string-append (assoc-ref inputs "fcitx") 
"/bin/fcitx"))
...
))))))
