As an author of example code, you should adhere to a good coding style even 
more closely than under other circumstances.

Therefore, you should indent with 4 spaces:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#code-lay-out. 

Using * imports are considered harmful:

For PyQt{4,5}, it's best practise to use:

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtNetwork, QtWebKit

I've glimpsed over it, and you're right: that's a blatant bug in either the 
example or Qt itself. While I didn't harvested much success in filing Qt bugs 
in the past, but it's still the best thing to do right now. 

Let us know about the outcome, please.
