A static variable is almost certainly not going to do what you want -- one of the big reasons for all of this is to be able to restore state if the process is killed, and if you are putting stuff in a static variable then that will all go away with the process when it is killed.
Unfortunately it does look like there is an issue in TextView with this, which I will need to think about how to fix. There are a lot of optimizations going on to avoid creating, saving, and restoring state objects unless they are needed... unfortunately this causes trouble for people deriving from TextView. Technically what you are supposed to do is take the state object returned by the super class, write it in your own state object, and hand it back to the super class when restoring state. The optimization to return null when there is no state to save is breaking that. One simple thing you could do is call TextView.setFreezesText() when you are initializing your subclass. This tells the text view it should store its entire text in the state, which will force it to always save its state.
