Sorry, I can't reproduce this issue, it stays active on the devices I've tested 
it on. My guess would be that this might be caused by a bug in how the phone 
handles the stored preference for the active keyboard, but this happens outside 
of the keyboard application.

After the restart, does Hacker's Keyboard still appear as an option in the 
input method selection dialog you get by long-pressing an input field?

yes, as an input method, but not by long-pressing an input field like
compose a message.

I think this seems to be a bug in the Thunderbolt ROM, apparently other 
keyboards suffer from similar problems:

The second thread mentions a workaround involving switching input methods but I 
don't know if this is applicable here.

Sorry, I don't think there's anything I can do about it if the OS decides to 
change the active input method, since applications aren't permitted to override 
this setting by themselves - it requires explicit user action to do so.
