In the compressed APK they're still 790kb. I... uh... I don't know why I said "extracting", earlier. I just meant viewing them in 7-zip. It's Monday. :P
It's mostly an academic issue now anyway, as I've modified our ant script to use 7-zip's commandline interface to manually extract the RGB png's and replace them with the indexed ones. A bit hacky, I know, but it works ok! I'm still curious as to why this is going on, though. I'm not using 1.5; I'm only using 1.1. Is it possible that aapt in 1.1 uses pngcrush as well, and is for some reason changing the colour mode of the pngs from indexed to full RGB?
