You might want to add {keepFocus: true} to the first sendKeys call. If you see the source code, without adding a keepFocus, it is blurring the text area and that means your second sendKeys call will not accept the keypress.

This seems to work.

casper.start('http://localhost:3000/input-demo', function() {
  this.sendKeys('#demo-input', 'demo text', {keepFocus: true});
  this.sendKeys('#demo-input', casper.page.event.key.Enter , {keepFocus: true});
  this.test.assertEquals(this.getHTML('#stage'), 'input demo');
});

casper.run();
