I have a problem executing android unit tests against android applications that utilize the recently released Fragment support API. When the test is run against a FragmentActivity the following error shows up in the log and the class fails to load. When run against an identical class, but one derived from Activity the test works fine. Both classes work correctly as apps! Meaning that when simply invoked they both display their layout and function correctly. The support jar is part of the build path and included in the project.
The problem I have is that the only way to utilize fragments (and support pre3.0 android) is to utilize FragmentActivity, but if that excludes automated testing then what good is this library.

Here is the code I constructed to demonstrate the issue. The test case simply tries to instantiate the class under test:
FrameLayoutTest.java
public class FrameLayou
