Trouble with alignment on Android 2.1 using merge

The main idea is that the FrameLayout (Black) is centered and the LinearLayout (Red) aligns at the bottom. This works perfectly on my 4.x emulators and on my Galaxy Nexus. Like this:

Good Layout

In Eclipse ADT the layout previews look fine on all sizes. However when running this on a 2.1 emulator the FrameLayout (Black) seems shifted downwards.

BadLayout

I got the following layout:

<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <FrameLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="300dp"
            android:layout_height="200dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="70dp"
            android:background="#000000" >

        </LinearLayout>
    </FrameLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="70dp"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|center"
        android:background="#FF0000"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >

    </LinearLayout>

</merge>

Anyone got any idea whats causing this?

This should work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
     android:layout_height="fill_parent"
     android:orientation="vertical" >

     <LinearLayout
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="0dip"
         android:layout_weight="1" >

         <LinearLayout
             android:layout_width="300dp"
             android:layout_height="200dp"
             android:background="#000000" />
     </LinearLayout>

     <LinearLayout
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="70dp"
         android:layout_gravity="bottom"
         android:background="#FF0000" />

</LinearLayout>
