Question #231037 on Sikuli changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
A GUI element (like you do it manually) needs to get the focus, before
entering anything, if  it does not have the focus yet (as in your case).

So you need a click action before pasting.

So you could either do:
find(<image>)
paste(getLastMatch(), "some text") # paste does a click before pasting

or 
find(<image>)
click(getLastMatch()) # explicit click
paste("some text")

or (most compact ;-)
paste(<image>, "some text") # paste does find, click and paste

In all cases, the <image> must define a target offset, so the field is
activated.

BTW: 
With Sikuli it always is a temptation, to first think about the visual approach.
But in some cases using the keyboard instead might be more robust, especially if some shortcut is available.

In this case using ctrl+l (lowercase L, cmd+l on Mac)) works for all
browsers to select the address bar.
