I found and fixed the problems with missing parents -- it's an AAPT issue that 
someone else had commented on.

However, the immediate crash remains (it appears apktool2.0.0beta7 doesn't 
require the fixes) with both versions now -- the decompile and build appears to 
be ok, the signing is ok, but (1) the size of the repack APK is different and 
(2) on attempting to run the repacked APK it immediately crashes with 
"Unfortunately, trader has unexpectedly stopped."

Resolved -- both my brain fart and the app developer in question (which I wish 
to strangle.)  Please close.
