Is there any documentation on these Resource Aliases? The closest I found was
for ID resources:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/more-resources.html#Id
However, the documentation doesn't state that <item/> can have a body. However,
the documentation for Integer Array and Typed Array both state that <item/> can
have a body which is a resource reference:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/more-resources.html#IntegerArray
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/more-resources.html#TypedArray

This is a bug.
Android doesn't like PascalCased resource names for filename-backed resources,
and @layout/ActivityAthleteTwopane is (presumably) file backed as
Resources\layout\ActivityAthleteTwopane.axml.
Mono for Android adds support for PascalCased resource names by lowercasing all
the resource names + references as part of the build process (see the files in
e.g. obj\Debug\res). Unfortunately I didn't know about the <item/> element, or
that the <item/> element could contain a resource reference. Result: <item/>
isn't fixed, and contains @layout/ActivityAthleteTwopane instead of
@layout/activityathletetwopane.
The workaround? Use the "internal" name, @layout/activityathletetwopane.
