Button not wrapping around content

I have a button like this:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button_down"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="36dp"
    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/button_down"
    android:background="@color/grey"
    />

But the button isn't wrapping the content:

Notice the massive amount of space to the right of the (faded) icon.

For design and usability reasons, I think there's a default minWidth associated with the button. Add android:minWidth="1dp" and the button is going to be as wide as your text.
