  The StyledEditorKit.getInputAttributes() does not get the character
 attributes of the current caret location as specified.

The javadoc says:
public MutableAttributeSet getInputAttributes()

    Gets the input attributes for the pane. When the caret moves
    and there is no selection, the input attributes
    are automatically mutated to reflect the character attributes <---
    of the current caret location. The styled editing
    actions use the input attributes to carry out their actions.
    Returns:
       the attribute set

The short example with these conditions:
--------------------------------8-<----------------------------------------
import javax.swing.JEditorPane;
import javax.swing.text.StyledEditorKit;
import javax.swing.text.AttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.SimpleAttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.DefaultStyledDocument;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        JEditorPane pn = new JEditorPane();
        StyledEditorKit se = new StyledEditorKit();
        SimpleAttributeSet setattr = new SimpleAttributeSet();
        String key = "MAGICKEY12345";
        String value = "MAGICVALUE12345";
        Object reskey;
        Object resvalue;
        DefaultStyledDocument doc = new DefaultStyledDocument();
        try {
            doc.insertString(0, "The text", null); // Set text
        } catch (BadLocationException e) {}
        pn.setEditorKit(se);
        pn.setDocument(doc);
        // Set some attribute
        setattr.addAttribute(key, value);
        doc.setCharacterAttributes(0, doc.getLength(), setattr, true);
        pn.setCaretPosition(0);
        pn.moveCaretPosition(3);
        AttributeSet currentAttr =
                doc.getCharacterElement(pn.getCaretPosition()).getAttributes();
        System.out.println("The attributes at current caret position " +
                pn.getCaretPosition() + " are:");
        for (java.util.Enumeration e = currentAttr.getAttributeNames();
                e.hasMoreElements();) {
            reskey = e.nextElement();
            System.out.println(reskey + " " +
                    currentAttr.getAttribute(reskey));
        }
        AttributeSet attr = se.getInputAttributes();
        if (!attr.containsAttribute(key, value)) {
            System.out.println("The input attributes are:");
            for (java.util.Enumeration e = attr.getAttributeNames();
                    e.hasMoreElements();) {
                reskey = e.nextElement();
                System.out.println(reskey + " " + attr.getAttribute(reskey));
            }
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }
}

Output:
The attributes at current caret position 3 are:
MAGICKEY12345 MAGICVALUE12345
The input attributes are:
