Public bug reported:

Currently although it may look as though we have an OSK in Autopilot
tests running on phones, keyboard input emits synthetic events. This
makes testing of particular behavior involving pre-edit text impossible
to test. We don't have unit tests for this either because maliit is very
hard to spawn, so we essentially never run any of the tests for it.

def get_keyboard():                                                             
                                                                                
    """Return the keyboard device."""
    # TODO return the OSK if we are on the phone. --elopio - 2014-01-13
    return input.Keyboard.create()

As per my understanding we should have an input device that talks to
maliit using introspection (accessibility?), which is the way tests run
in ubuntu-keyboard, but those aren't right now re-usable by other
projects.
