It seems to appear when the VKB is open and then dismissed by going to an about: page.

Simpler STR:

1. http://yahoo.com
2. Tap URL bar, hit Firefox Start (about:home) bookmark

See screenshot.

Let's look for a regression-range.

Nothing really stands out (bug 673206?)

This issue manifests when the virtual keyboard is withdrawn (closed) from the screen on load of a local page.

Wes you broke this with the patch for Bug 673206. https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/7cb0b8e0951f is good and https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/35bd1513465d is bad

Following these STR I get the webpage covered by a white area. Please see the attached screenshot.
