I believe (checked Android) that the native feature for placeholder text is being used. It'll thus render however it does on the native control. Hmm...

I believe we had a similar issue for normal text, something with the view not being fully initialized when the text was set on it or something... @nekronos might remember more details?

We have both a TextInput for single-line input and a TextView for multi-lineinput. I recall something about device compatability for the distinction. TextView doesn't support placeholders though, and TextInput I don't believe support multi-line on devices.
