I'm having strange issue with R.java file and styles defined in my resources.

Here's some code:

In res/values/strings.xml:

<style parent="android:Theme.Dialog" name="PopupWindowStyle">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/bg1</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@android:color/black</item>
</style>

In AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity
    android:name=".RegisterScreen"
    android:icon="@drawable/ico" 
    android:label="@string/applicationName" 
    android:theme="@style/PopupWindowStyle"
    android:configChanges="locale|touchscreen|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation|orientation|fontScale">
</activity>

In autogenerated gen/.../R.java:

public static final class style {
    public static final int PopupWindowStyle=0x7f090000;
}

After some changes in the project, eclipse changed autogenerated value for PopupWindowStyle from 0x7f080000 to 0x7f090000. After that, on Android 1.5, RegisterScreen activity is displayed without PopupWindowStyle style - there is an error displayed in logcat:

Skipping entry 0x7f090000 in package table 0 because it is not complex!

On Android 1.6 however everything works fine - PopupWindowStyle works like it was before it's integer value has changed.

I was testing this issue, by reverting the source code to older revisions. I can confirm, that this problem started occurring after src code commit, which changed two files completely unrelated to this part of code - and an autogenerated R.java file.

Any idea what could cause that?
