Wouldn't the IME remember it for next time? And IME updates include it? So at most type it explicitly as two characters once per IME/device?

Yes, yes, and mostly yes.
This is no different from entering a name of someone written with a less common combination of kanji. You can either enter the word phonetically and pick the kanji you want (this trains the IME), or manually add an IME dictionary entry.
I fully expect all IME's in common use to have updates for this within days, if not already.
