It seems that the best solution is to simply create a custom dialog. Custom dialogs do not appear to have the soft keyboard bug at all (it shows up exactly when it has to). Here's some basic code:

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_LEFT_ICON);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog);
dialog.setTitle("My great title");
dialog.setCancelable(true);

dialog.show();
dialog.setFeatureDrawableResource(Window.FEATURE_LEFT_ICON, R.drawable.icon);

WebView vw = (WebView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.wv);
