Hi Randal, I'm not really sure why gdal isn't creating the xml file. It looks like it is gdal, since using the iface.AddRasterLayer() method produces the same error message as using gdal_translate from the command line.
As a work around while that issue is being sorted out, if you download the gdal ArcGIS server TMS xml definition from http://www.gdal.org/frmt_wms_arcgis_mapserver_tms.xml and change the url before the /tile/${z}/${y}/${x} portion, it will load the tiles when dragged into QGIS. I tested it with several of the raster layers from http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ and they all worked.
