Can predictive text be disabled for block input?

How do you turn OFF all predictive input for block input under WM6.1? Back with 6.0, there were a few apps (SMS, for one) that insisted upon using it despite my preference settings to the contrary, but now it seems like 6.1 just ignores my settings entirely and uses predictive input EVERYWHERE.

Phone: Sprint Touch
ROM: official 6.1, downloaded from Sprint sometime around mid-October.

How to replicate:

1. make block input the default SIP
2. Launch Internet Explorer (or Opera, or Notes, or...)
3. Tap in the URL area
4. Tap the stylus icon to bring up the soft input panel
5. Begin entering "www"... as soon as the first "w" is entered, a dark gray window appears directly above the soft input panel with its guesses. The letters themselves don't get transferred to the url bar until I write a space or return... and occasionally it feels perfectly entitled to silently ignore what I typed and go with its guess instead. Argh.

My settings:
settings/input->Input Method Tab:
Input method: block recognizer
Options: there are (allegedly) no options

settings/input->Word Completion tab: everything unchecked and/or greyed out
