It seems I was debugging something similar with rhuddie the other day (without solution). In case it's useful I'll mention it here:

What I observed was the test in question would stop then start the maliit-server, then the test immediately clicked on a text input and failed as the OSK never came up on screen within the time limit (presumably due to the process still starting up to the point it could accept the input etc.). At this point onwards any attempt to use the non-osk keyboard would fail. If we point a sleep between starting and trying to use the OSK everything worked fine.

Perhaps there is some interaction here which is stopping the text field to actually get focus? Or perhaps attempting to interact with the OSK before it's ready is confusing something?

As mentioned, I was unable to determine the actual issue, perhaps this information might help though.
