I tested the following code:

<EditText android:id="@+id/etMessage" android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"
android:hint="Compose text message..." android:maxLines="3" 
android:capitalize="sentences" android:autoText="true"
android:inputType="textShortMessage|textAutoCorrect|textCapSentences|textMultiLine"
 
android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi"
android:gravity="top|right" />

On the following devices:

Motorola Droid (2.2.2)
HTC Hero (2.1-update 1)
Samsung Galaxy Tab (2.2)
Sony Xperia Play (2.3.2)

They all worked fine. Maybe adding the "top" to it corrected it.
