I can confirm that this is a limitation in the Android SDK. Eclipse suffers the same problem, it can't handle layout files which have a BOM. I'm going to add a check for this specific issue and show a more meaningful error message when it happens. To fix it you can just remote the <?xml..> header in the included file, or you can remove the BOM by opening the file with the hex editor (Open With->Hex Editor) and deleting the first 3 bytes.
