A quick & naive idea is to subclass UIWebView and override -drawRect: to call the inherited method and then set a timer that will capture the view's pixels a fraction of a second later. (You'd want a timer for coalescing purposes, since there are likely to be multiple calls in a short time interval.)
The reason I say this is naive is because UIWebView almost certainly has a whole tree of views inside it that do the actual drawing, so the actual -drawRect: calls are probably going to those instead. But you could give this a try and see if you get anything useful.
