Per RomainGuy... Calling getChildAt(position) is wrong, it will NOT work. The position is the index of the item in the adapter. The list only contains enough items to fill the screen. For instance, views 0 to 4 in the list on screen can correspond to items 10 to 14 in the adapter. The numbers do not match. You need to translate between the two using getFirstVisiblePosition(). That's why you get a null result past the first 4 children. You simply misunderstand how lists and adapters work together.
Also, on Android 1.5, the keyboard shows up in fullscreen mode above the AutoCompleteTextView. You cannot scroll through the list and select an item. It is possible however to click a completion item in the onscreen keyboard, which does send a click even with a null view (because the click did not occur in the drop down itself.) The listener simply cannot rely on the value of v.
