When we split keyboard (look at attached image) on iOS 5.0.1 SoftKeyboardEvent.SOFT_KEYBOARD_ACTIVATE and SoftKeyboardEvent.SOFT_KEYBOARD_DEACTIVATE doesn't dispatch.

From review of a previously entered bug, it appears that this is an iOS issue, not an AIR one.  Here's a comment from one of our developers:

"iOS allows an app to register for KeyboardShow/KeyboardHide notifications so that whenever softkeyboard pops up, these events get fired.

Surprisingly if softkeyboard is split or undocked, these events are not dispatched by iOS, hence the Runtime fails to fire SoftKeyboardActivate events. But if the user merge and dock the split keyboard, the Runtime receives the notification and we do dispatch Activate Event.

The same is observed for native iOS apps."
