Great thread, and I'm definitely going to try some of the tricks
that have been discussed.

I've used GPX track files (generated with Python scripts) several
times as a quick way of displaying boundaries in OsmAnd. The display
isn't ideal, but it's SO much easier than any of the other methods.

Another solution, not as easy (but maybe still easier than
OsmAndMapCreator plus a custom renderer) is using QGIS to make a
tiled map that you can use as an underlay or overlay map.
I wrote a couple of posts on that a while back:
