I am using cordova 1.7 and have the same problem. I found a workaround though. You need to patch phonegap by commenting out the creation of invsible iframe which is injected by phonegap to communicate with the native side. In fact, this iframe causes all kinds of rendering issues, not only the status bar problem:

if (cordova.commandQueue.length == 1 && !cordova.commandQueueFlushing) {
//        if (!gapBridge) {
//            createGapBridge();
//        }
//        gapBridge.src = "gap://ready";
    location = "gap://ready";
}

I didn't find any side effects after I've made the above change. However, I know people complain that some plugins stopped working, e.g. google analytics.
