AA cannot parse a valid meta-data element from the manifest, like this:

<meta-data
                android:name="com.commonsware.cwac.provider.STREAM_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/file_paths"/>

It emits the following warning:

warning: A malformed <meta-data> has been found in the manifest with name com.commonsware.cwac.provider.STREAM_PROVIDER_PATHS

This is a valid meta-data, so we should be able to parse it.
