This should now work slightly better...

Yes, but I'm not quite sure how to achieve that.  Currently it just uses

(defface eww-form-text
  '((t (:background "#505050"
                    :foreground "white"
                    :box (:line-width 1))))

which works perfectly for single-line inputs.

The vertical lines are elided when two characters with the same box face
are adjacent, but the horizontal lines are not.

Is this a bug in the face code, perhaps?

Nope.  But it'll extend if you type at the last character on the last
line.  :-)
