I've had this problem too.

I had a project that was using the Google APIs (Level 7) as the build target. I'm guessing there's something awry in this build that doesnt point nicely to the appropriate theme files. To get around this, I switched my "Project Build Target" to Android 2.1-update1 and it seems to be ok.
