How about debugging this a bit further? Maybe your own code is somehow overwriting it? I am using localStorage/sessionStorage in PhoneGap and never had them disappearing...

Add the following event handler:

window.addEventListener("storage", function(e) {
   console.debug(e);
}, false);

Which will fire (and log to console, on desktop browser) every time the storage is accessed. You could also log more detailed info to be seen in your adb logcat (like the key being accessed!)

Have a look at this stackoverflow question for more details on Storage events.
