This might be related to an Android platform XML parser bug such as:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2607

I'm unable to reproduce the problem with Android 1.6 and VLC 1.0.3 on either 
Linux or Windows

I ran some tests on the Android 1.5 emulator and the XML parser seemed to work 
as it should.  Can you 
try upgrading to VLC server 1.0.3 or 1.0.4?
