FWIW, I tried it on a system with that value and I got the same results
as Andrew. Maybe he did use a different IM.

I can't say anything on that front, but I tried updating the Japanese
dictionary to the latest version using skkdic-convert in
lisp/international/ja-dic-cnv.el and it still gave the "wrong" results for
買います.

I can also reproduce this with inflected versions of some common words
like はなします and よみます. Neither produce the expected results of 話
します　and 読みます.

The above examples work as expected with the mozc IM
(https://github.com/google/mozc).
