I was also having the same issue. What I was missing was that we need to add scaletype to fitXY in the imageview for the xml bitmap to work properly.

    android:src="@drawable/tile"
    android:tileMode="repeat" />

layout.xml

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/tile_bitmap"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:scaleType="fitXY"/>

This sounds like a bug, although I've never seen it myself. If you have a simple APK that reproduces the issue, please send it to me (romainguy /at/ android.com) or file a bug here.
