By moving lines and adding:
-m)
echo "$IM_CONFIG_ACTIVE"
echo "$IM_CONFIG_AUTOMATIC"
exit
;;
I can print both. (only few lines added for -l. )
Also -l can be mixed with -a.
$ im-config -l
ibus uim xim
$ im-config -a -l
ibus fcitx uim hime gcin maliit scim hangul thai xim kinput2 xsunpinyin
$ im-config -m

$ im-config -n ibus

$ im-config -m

$ im-config -n REMOVE
