Newsreader without OpenIntents: Unfriendly error message

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. emulator -wipe-data (or remove all relevant application and data files 
manually)
2. adb install Newsreader.apk (but not OpenIntents.apk)
3. launch Newsreader.apk

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There should be the standard OpenIntents required message. Instead:
