Thank you for reporting this bug.

I only figured out how to get caribou (GNOME's new screen keyboard system) working yesterday (& the GNOME Shell version only started working with Fedora 16 this week) so it's not as fully tested.

To workaround this until it gets fixed properly:
1. Install caribou
2. Add this line to /etc/xdg/autostart/onboard-autostart.desktop
AutostartCondition=GNOME3 unless-session gnome
3. And add this line to /etc/xdg/autostart/caribou-autostart.desktop
AutostartCondition=GNOME3 unless-session gnome-fallback

That will disable Ubuntu's default screen keyboard (onboard) in GNOME Shell because having 2 onscreen keyboards on the screen at once is ridiculous. Step 3 also makes onboard the default for screen keyboard in GNOME Classic since onboard still works better than caribou's standalone mode.
