Lint does not find an Activity from a Library

Question

I have a library project (in ADT) containing an Activity.

This library is used by a project that uses this Activity.

All this works perfectly well. The Activity is declared in the main project's manifest, it compiles, it runs, it does everything I need.

All the compilation, library linking, lint checking happens in stock ADT without the help of anything else. (no maven, no ant, no makefile)

However, when I run lint on the project, it complains that

Class referenced in the manifest, com.test.library.LibraryActivity, was not found in the project or the libraries

Which is incorrect, since it compiles and run.

I have cleaned, removed the lint markers, deleted the lint.xml file, restarted ADT, still the same issue.

I would like to have a proper full lint check before releasing. Any idea?

Edit

I have been doing more testing, and apparently command line lint MyProject works, tests library correctly

Thanks! Don't know how I didn't find this bug report. – njzk2 May 12 '14 at 21:00
I don't understand if the claimed fix release is in lint only, or in the integration with the IDE, though. – njzk2 May 12 '14 at 21:02

An easy work around is to created an activity that inherits from the one in the library and referencing this activity in your manifest.

yes, possibly, but I really don't want to do stuff like that just to please lint. Also, in command line it works. – njzk2 May 09 '14 at 16:46
