Fragments cannot be nested in XML

Learnt this the hard way - if you nest an XML layout based tag inside a (potentially) dynamically loaded fragment from FragmentManager, then you start to get weird errors, trying to inflate your fragment xml.

Turns out, that this is not supported - it will work fine if you do this through purely the FragmentManager approach.

I was getting this problem because I was trying load a fragment inside a from xml, and this was causing a crash in the onCreateView() method when I popped the back stack.
