It appears that the "Hello, WebView" example is broken.  On the suggestion of someone on the IRC channel, I removed the override of shouldOverrideUrlLoading() and everything seems to work swimmingly.
Revised working code:
public class ViewUrl extends Activity {
    protected WebView view;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.view_url);
        final String url = "http://www.opentable.com/phone/reviews.aspx?rid=2947";
        view = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.widget1);
        view.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        view.loadUrl( url );
        view.setWebViewClient( new WebViewClient() ); // probably not necessary if you don't do anything else with the WebViewClient
    }
}
