As per the Google Maps V3 API spec found here http://goo.gl/YdWCC, the place_changed event should fire: 
1) "when a PlaceResult is made available for a Place the user has selected."

AND

2) "If the user enters the name of a Place that was not suggested by the control and presses the Enter key, a place_changed event will be fired that contains the user input in the name property, with no other properties defined."

This is true on maps.google.com, however, specification #2 is not working in the API, as seen by Google's example here: http://goo.gl/hUufm.

Yeah, I am running into problem here, too. I tried using onchange instead, but that is broken, too. (Refer to  issue 3541  that I just filed.)

Having issues with this as well.  If autocomplete fails to find a location I want to try to geocode the search text.  For example, autocomplete will not encode cross streets but the geocoder will.  If both autocomplete and geocoding fail I'd like to display an error message of some sort, but without being able to detect the onchange of the text field or have place_changed fire when they've submitted the form it's impossible to get the form's state.
