Maybe try to use WebKit instead of a TextView?

I remember that in older os versions, the text system supported only 
html 3.2, and I guess that the underlaying code is not well tested as 
WebKit. Trying to feed real life html (mostly broken in so many ways) 
into the text system is very optimistic.

Another option can be to tidy the html before you feed it into the 
text system, this is general practice for processing real life html.
