I can disclose the URL, it's publicly available and always up - yahoo
finance csv stock price download.  For example:
http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GOOG+T&f=sl1c1p2

It doesn't get much more highly available than this.  I could test
other URLs, but as I have mentionned before, the exact same code, with
the exact same URL runs marvelously in the emulator, so I very much
doubt it has anything to do with the URL.  It's also not specific to
wi-fi on the handset.  I get the same behavior when I disable wi-fi
and use only 3G.

It would take me a bit of work to create a reproducible snippet, no
proprietary concerns - just space.  The code snippet I've already
posted is simply running in another thread spawned by the UI thread.
If I get some time I will try to work on a self-contained demo that
reproduces the problem on my handset.
