[CIQBUG] drawable shape fill color cannot be transparent

The following resource description does not behave as expected.

<layouts>
    <drawable-list id="TestDrawableList" x="0" y="0" foreground="Gfx.COLOR_WHITE">
        <!-- fill the screen with white, this is a hack to workaround a different bug -->
        <shape type="rectangle" width="fill" height="fill" />

        <!-- draw a red circle as if by a call to dc.drawCircle() -->
        <shape type="circle" x="50" y="50" radius="50" color="Gfx.COLOR_TRANSPARENT" border_width="1" border_color="Gfx.COLOR_RED"/>
    </drawable-list>

    <layout id="TestView" background="Gfx.COLOR_WHITE">        
        <drawable id="TestDrawableList" />
    </layout>
</layouts>

The circle that is drawn is filled in red, despite the fact that I specifically requested that it be transparent. If I set the color attribute Gfx.COLOR_BLUE, then I get the expected behavior- a blue circle with a red border.

Is there some other trick that I'm not thinking of to get a shape definition to behave like draw... instead of fill...?

Note: I have not tested this on a device. I'm only looking at the simulator at the moment.

This looks familiar to me, but I'll have to look into it and see if I can locate any related reports or fixes. There are a a few outstanding issues with drawables that we need to get addressed.
