Well if you need it, write your own code to do it. They are your apps, right? You can have a way for them to interact to have one ask the other to kill itself -- send a broadcast to it, have a service to bind to to send a command to it, or heck even just have an instrumentation test case that does a self-murder and run that between every real test case.
As far as why this doesn't work prior to 2.2... I thought from your message that you had it working there. If not, I don't know what to say -- the API was available, and a number of apps use it. I would suggest looking in the log when you install your app to see if there are any messages about you not being granted the permission, etc. (Note from looking at your manifest -- applications have never been able to get the INJECT_EVENT permission, so there is no reason to request it.)
