Probably fix intermittent irreproducible NPE
We're seeing this NPE in all OS versions from 2.3 to 4.3 (the vast majority in 2.3.6), ultimately ending up in View.dispatchRestoreInstanceState. 'container' seems to be the only object invoked with a method in the versions of dispatchRestoreInstanceState() I've examined.
