We had an issue like this with the rollout of iOS7. When we called setText which added a new line (or lines) to our UITextView, the textview wasn't using the correct new height for its redrawing. The setNeedsDisplay, setNeedsLayout, redrawing layers, redrawing the entire view, etc all didn't work. Finally we forced a loss and gain of focus:

[textView resignFirstResponder];
[textView becomeFirstResponder];

This forced the height recalculation and correct redraw. Thankfully it does not cause the keyboard to pop out and in, but it's worth regression testing that on any iOS versions your app supports.
