I've tried almost exactly the same scenario. It seems like the fromXScale="1.0" does not match the actual apparent size of the view. 1.0 was quite a bit bigger than the original view size. I also tried all the combinations like you did. It was not an emulator speed issue, nor an inconsistency between emulator and hardware device. It was not a fillBefore or fillAfter issue, as far as I can tell, either.
For now, my workaround is to adjust the scale parameters downward by an ugly arbitrary amount. For example, fromXScale="0.83" seems to smoothly match the un-animated size on my emulator and on my Galaxy S, regardless of screen density. I made my throb animation go from 0.83 to 1.05, instead of 1.0 to 1.2. But I'm afraid this will just not work on some other device and I'll be back where I started. I thought maybe the problem was a miscalculation of view size involving padding, but no such luck. A layout with no padding, margins, or scaling whatsoever shows the same bad scaling error. I may try to post a YouTube video of the emulator on a simple test-case, but the quoted XML should be sufficient for anyone to see the issue.
