Eclipse changes project's Android SDK when importing from existing source

Eclipse, or Android is changing my project.properties file when I import a project from existing source.

When I "export" an existing project from SVN, the project.properties file is referencing the correct SDK for that project:

# Project target.
target=Google Inc.:Google APIs:7

I can see this by opening the file in a text editor. I have not yet imported this as a project into Eclipse.

Then I choose to import it into Eclipse using File...New...Android Project from Existing Source.

Eclipse imports the project, and immediately shows the correct SDK in the project explorer window. Perfect so far.

After a second or so, I can see the SDK change to Android 2.1. Eclipse automatically made the change!

My project.properties file has been updated:

# Project target.
target=android-8

To summarise:

I have checked this on a different developer's machine - same behaviour. (i.e. Android SDK Tools 21.0.0 and 21.0.1)

Any ideas?
