Interesting question.
But I need to ask how did you get the text entry box to be a "fall through"
interaction in the first place? I had a need for something like that myself
 but couldn't make the text entry interaction perpetual so I could have
subsequent icons layering over the text box. I work with APM.

Do you want to enter text in Icon 1 after you have layered over it?
 If so why don't you just have the text entry interaction as the last layer
and have a dummy entry box in the first layer.
