Is this with a hardware keyboard. For me, the software keyboard completely takes up the screen while typing. When dismissing the software keyboard, the awesomebar suggestions for planet.mozilla.org appear just fine.
This is on the LG Optimus Black, Android 2.2.

With a software keyboard. If you can see how Opera Mobile implement it, you'd see that they still have auto-complete on despite the keyboard and editor taking up the full screen.

Ah, now I know what you mean! You mean inline autocomplete inside the virtual keyboard.
Just an url I googled about this feature: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6479213/android-autocomplete-and-soft-keyboard

Not quite, that covers bug 681605. This bug is about in-line autocomplete. I've attached an attachment of Opera's implementation.

Mass bug change to replace various 'parity' whiteboard flags with the new canonical keywords. (See bug 1443764 comment 13.)
