OK, I finally figured it out. For the record, in case anybody else needs to do this: I had to go Project Properties -> Projects -> Required projects on the build path, and add the dependency there. It turns out that the external classfiles are, in fact, being added to classes.dex and the .apk.
Debugging this in my case was confounded by the fact that I was inflating some custom classes in layout/main.xml and there was a typo in the classname that wasn't being picked up until runtime, and I didn't notice the typo.
