Minimal-ish failing testcase (based on test_text.py):

    def test_space_key(self):
        test_html = self.marionette.absolute_url("javascriptPage.html")
        self.marionette.navigate(test_html)
        key_reporter = self.marionette.find_element(By.ID, "keyReporter")
        key_reporter.send_keys(Keys.SPACE)

        self.assertEqual(" ", key_reporter.get_property("value"))

Note that the sending a keydown with u'\ue00d' to the performActions endpoint works correctly. Both performActions and sendKeysToElement ultimately call down to event.sendSingleKey, so maybe the difference is in how a11y is used for element interaction? Wild guess.
