Why can't I trigger navigator.camera.getPicture using Cordova 2.7.0 in my Android app?

I'm working on a Cordova app for Android, this app must upload an image from the device. The tests are being performed on a Motorola Xoom Tablet with Android 4.0.4.
The Cordova version is 2.7.0.

The app opens and the ondeviceready is properly called.

The user press a button and the following function is triggered: 

capture: function(sourceType) {
  navigator.camera.getPicture(this.onCaptureSuccess, this.onCaptureFail, {
    quality: 20
    ,targetWidth: 100
    ,targetHeight: 100
    ,destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI 
    ,sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY
    ,correctOrientation: false
  });
}

Once the function is triggered an menu is shown with 4 options to choose the source of the file (ASTRO File Manager, ES File Explorer, Files and Gallery) and the following messages are added to the Logcat: 

05-11 13:30:51.400: D/DroidGap(11102): Paused the application!
05-11 13:30:51.400: D/CordovaWebView(11102): Handle the pause

I can choose any of the four and the LogCat shows the following messages: 

05-11 13:33:57.960: D/DroidGap(11409): onDestroy()
05-11 13:33:57.960: D/CordovaWebView(11409): >>> loadUrl(javascript:try{cordova.require('cordova/channel').onDestroy.fire();}catch(e){console.log('exception firing destroy event from native');};)
05-11 13:33:57.960: D/PluginManager(11409): init()
05-11 13:33:57.970: D/CordovaWebView(11409): >>> loadUrlNow()
05-11 13:33:58.120: D/OpenGLRenderer(11409): Flushing caches (mode 0)
05-11 13:33:58.350: D/OpenGLRenderer(11409): Flushing caches (mode 1)

Once I choose the image I want to upload the app shows a message "Unfurtunately, the process .. has stopped." and show the following LogCat messages:

05-11 13:40:06.750: D/DroidGap(11886): DroidGap.onCreate()

Any idea on what can be my error?

Update: I've updated the project I had with Cordova 2.6.0 and tried the code above and it not worked. Now I've created a new project with Cordova 2.7.0 and just copied the Cordova code from the old project and it worked fine.

I tested this code with Cordova 2.7 on a few devices and have the following results:

Nexus 7 (4.2)                     no problems
HTC Sensation (2.3.4)             no problems
HTC Evo 4g (2.2)                  no problems
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 (4.0.4)    Had the below Java error but JS seems to get the image

(4.0.2 - 05-15 15:16:53.895: E/ActivityThread(3520): Activity com.android.internal.app.ChooserActivity has leaked IntentReceiver com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity$1@4131a248 that was originally registered here. Are you missing a call to unregisterReceiver()?

Will test on a Xoom tablet when my coworker gets back from lunch.
