MWC status: hahlo is a nice to have at this point, but it would be good to get this looked at.

Not a blocker.

If you tap on the web page to dismiss the VKB, the rendering artifacts go away.

The Kindle Fire's VKB has a "dismiss keyboard" button (in the lower right corner). If you dismiss the VKB with the button, the rendering artifacts DO NOT go away.

I can reproduce the rendering artifacts on the Kindle Fire (Gingerbread), but NOT on the Galaxy S2 (Gingerbread), Droid Pro (Gingerbread with HW KB), or Galaxy Nexus (ICS).

that looks an awful lot like bug 719910. Looks like there are good STR here though, I'll add those over there after dup'ing.
