I hope this document describes this correctly. If so, it verifies my guess that NSS does use any operating-system tricks to protect "soft" keys. Probably that's the price you have to stay platform-independent. AFAICT, MSIE's soft tokens should be harder than Firefox's. If I manage to get the following running http://android-keystore-v2.webpki.org Android soft keys should be comparable to MSIE's.
