In Silverlight (until version 4), if you set the property windowless of the sl plugin to true, you can't get any IME support in a textbox. Does anyone know why? is it a security concern or something else?

I believe this a browser restriction not a SL one, same problem for flash with wmode =transparent. Since windowless allows html to be displayed over the SL object, you may as a workaround float an iframe containing a html input box over your SL input box and on enter key press event on your html inputbox, call a SL function to take the text result.

This is something intended by microsoft.
