As far as I can tell from the PhoneGap source code, it just embeds a UIWebView and hooks into its standard APIs and events. I didn't spot any unpublished APIs in use. Can you give an example of what you mean by "hijacking"?

If I built a non-PhoneGap application that used a WebView to display pages I built with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, do you think that would violate the SDK agreement?

PhoneGap doesn't appear to expose any of the Private API's however it does expose parts of the SDK that are not normally available to web-based applications when run via Safari. I have a post above that elaborates on why Apple may find this objectionable.
