With the use of gesture controls and swipe-up menus and "soft keys", etc, why not put in something like the "pie control" apps on Android, where the OS controls one part and the app controls another?
Consider a semi-configurable universal menu with a well defined access method, where you always can back out of the app, and in the case of browsers also have guaranteed access to switching tabs and accessing options, etc.

Edge swipe from the top could be made impossible to hijack.
The Secure Attention Key is interesting, but would need the user to know you press it. And on mobile, it would probably need to be a dedicated button on the device, since I could just fake the on screen keyboard too.
Password manager auto-fill failing would clue a savvy user that something was wrong, but I suspect many would just assume it's a glitch and manually enter their credentials.
I saw an reply in another thread suggesting customizable browser background images for the UI bar, which a website would have no way of replicating. In my opinion that's probably the best approach, although it might mean throwing away the ability for sites to set the background color of the UI to match their theme (arguably losing nothing of value :).
