Re-read the warning message: it complains about the "source file",
which is ibus.el, not ibus.elc.  Do you have that file, and if so, is
it on load-path?

The *.eln files are *.el files compiled to native (a.k.a. "machine")
code.  They make Emacs work faster.

Only the warnings of this kind, i.e. those that come from the attempt
to find the *.el files in order to verify the *.eln files before they
are loaded into Emacs.
