... Not sending keywords is something the browsers do, and therefore just a result of Google using SSL...

This is not quite exact. Please look in the source of google pages, when returns results for a keyword search and you'll see that the information about keyword is not specified as the old pages did, I mean clear, plain text, now is encoded. Google needs to know for his metrics which link from result page was clicked by the user and for which keyword and this is transmitted to google by url, only now is encoded and the single thing intelligible there is the url of the site.

..."It seems only searches from mobiles still return keywords in url,"

Where did you get that information? I just tried it, and there are no keywords being sent from my mobile.

From Piwik. I have numerous sites that reports keywords coming form mobile platforms. There are the only keywords I can see in Piwik now.
