A strange aspects of this thread is that the current draft already talks about 
exactly this issue:

draft-ietf-oauth-v2-21 section 9 "Native Applications"

  "...Native applications can invoke an external user-agent or
  embed a user-agent within the application
  ...
  Embedded user-agents pose a security challenge because resource
  owners are authenticating in an unidentified window without access
  to the visual protections found in most external user-agents.
  Embedded user-agents educate end-user to trust unidentified
  requests for authentication (making phishing attacks easier to
  execute)."

The webView that Michael Thomas talks about is an "embedded user-agent".

At this point, it would be just nice for the industry to know that the issue
even *exists*.
