First of all thanks for this detailed issue.
This issue had been investigated thoroughly when it was first reported internally. The surprising detail in this report is that the issue is not reproducible before 1.7. I will look into this.
The main problem with POBox is the fact that it is deprecated. Since 2021 Sony has been shipping new Xperia devices with Gboard pre-installed. Although we are aware that there is still a considerable amount of users still using POBox, the described behavior is caused by POBox's noncompliant behavior with InputConnection and InputMethodManager documentation. However, this is understandable since TextView implementation was also not respecting the behavior that is expected from Editors.
Ultimately we have decided to enforce the documented behavior with specifically regards to when editors should call InputMethodManager.updateSelection. Also, although unconfirmed, there were traces of possible custom code being included in Sony OEM images that changed how InputMethodManager was notified from TextView. If POBox also depended on something like this, it would be impossible for Compose code to replicate the same unknown behavior.

Or is that option not available?
Even if the root cause is POBox, from the perspective of the app's customers, it looks like an app bug, so this issue is a blocker against updating Jetpack Compose.

Just to be sure, it is dangerous to replace Compose TextField with Android View EditText as a workaround for this issue.
Compose 1.7 has a bug that causes ANR when the focus is on EditText.
Another View-related bug in Compose 1.7 is that an Android View is focused by calling FocusManager.clearFocus().
Perhaps there is a lack of testing of Compose 1.7 in combination with Android View. There is also a possibility that there are other fatal bugs related to View.
In other words, the only options for apps targeting the Japanese market that require POBox support are to continue using Compose 1.6 or to use EditText in combination with various workarounds.

Many thanks again for this report. Especially for giving us a huge clue in terms of what could be going wrong. The fix is now merged and I will ask for a cherry-pick into a stable release.
ap...@google.com
Do you have any concrete plan to cherry-pick the fix into current stable version (1.7.x)? We are currently waiting it.
kl...@google.com
Yes, this fix is planned to be included in a future 1.7.x release.
ap...@google.com
Thanks for the fix. Sorry to follow up on this. is it possible for you to share specific release version/date for the stable version? We are waiting on this to decide on our direction.

Make UI tests run layout passes between frames
Checks if a local measure/layout is scheduled after execution of each
frame. With a local measure/layout I mean a layout pass for which an
Android View layout pass has not been scheduled. It is local because it
only affects composables, and not any View outside the host View.
Fixes:
Bug:
Test: AnimatedVisibilityTest (new in ui-test-junit4)
Test: PhaseOrderingTest
Test: TestRuleExecutesLayoutPassesWhenWaitingForIdleTest
Test: BasicCurvedTextTest
Test: this change is also exercised by nearly all tests
Relnote: "Android Compose UI tests will now run layout passes for each frame when
executing frames to get to idle (e.g. via `waitForIdle`). This may
affect tests that assert on individual frames of layout animations."

Description
When we're awaiting idleness, we forward ("pump") the clock to reach quiescence faster. But in many cases we also have to wait for measure/layout, which is still driven by the Choreographer. If we can perform a measure/layout pass ourselves when we detect that's the thing we're waiting for, we can potentially reach idleness faster.
