In case someone else runs into the same problem, I've found a solution:
After setting the model to the treeview I call set_cursor, which sets 
the selection to the first row.

renderer = gtk_cell_renderer_text_new();
path = gtk_tree_path_new_from_string("0");
gtk_tree_view_set_cursor(GTK_TREE_VIEW(treeview), path, NULL, renderer);

The documentation says set_cursor is often followed by a 
gtk_widget_grab_focus(), but I can't see any effect if I call it or not.
