For me, the issue definitely occurred following the upgrade from the
originally installed 4.1.x to 4.2.0, which caused me a frustrated 30 minutes
or so tapping around before I gave up. A few days later after the upgrade
to 4.2.1 it magically started working again.

FWIW my "Language and input" settings are:

Language:
  English (United Kingdom)

Keyboad and Input Methods:
Default
  Japanese - iWnn IME

  [checked-but-faded-out] Android keyboard - English (UK)
  [unchecked] Google Korean keyboard
  [unchecked] Google Pinyin
  [checked] Google Voice Typing - Automatic
  [checked] iWnn IME - Japanese

When the keyboard is active, the "globe" symbol to the left of the
space bar switches between English and Japanese input modes.
