It can't be done immediately because the text hasn't been
loaded yet. 
If you give the component time to load the string then it
will work 
fine.  For example I just did the following in the widget
inspection 
tool in the demo:

 >>> obj
<wx.lib.iewin.IEHtmlWindow; proxy of <Swig Object of
type 
'wxIEHtmlWindowBase *' at 0x2103530> >
 >>> obj.LoadString("wxPython"); print
obj.GetText(True)
True
<P>&nbsp;</P>
 >>>
 >>> obj.LoadString("<b>Hello</b>
World!")
True
 >>> obj.GetText(True)
u'<B>Hello</B> World!'
