This puts AutoKey into a bad state and upon next attempt to auto complete, the keyboard hangs.

The apparent fix was provided in attachment 1036421 and seems reasonable to me. Is this package no longer maintained? It looks like the upstream has not seen a release since 2012.

Additionally, someone has ported to Python 3. 0.93.7 contains this fix as well. Seems like it was introduced as part of the Python 3 port in https://github.com/autokey-py3/autokey/commit/7bbb17c634b65cbc417b1d56e862ea3f94a27b83. Problem is that the port appears to be missing the GTK specific launcher autokey-gtk.

If we can not get this fixed, I suggest that the package be removed as it can break GNOME if installed and clipboard feature is used.
