Answer 1

Since this bug only occurs on Android 4.2 and 4.3 you might use this as a workaround (i.e. include the maxSdkVersion):

Note: the maxSdkVersion attribute was only added in API level 19, which in this case is luckily exactly the minimum we want! In theory we could put any value <= 18 to get the same effect, but that would be nasty.
