In the event that there is a malformed patch-9 image file that is used within
one of your axml resource layout file you receive cryptic errors that indicate
you are using a drawable in your axml (all drawables, not just the bad one)
that doesn't exist in your Designer.cs file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a default project.
2. Add a couple of images. One of which should be a malformed patch-9 image
(first row or column has a value that is other than transparent or black, alpha
pixel is easy to use to test).
3. Add images as @drawable values in your .axml layout file.
4. Compile and you will get errors about the .axml file, nothing to indicate
that the aresgen failed or there is something wrong with one of your resources.
5. You need not even use the .9 file, simply include it in your project.
Actual Results:  
build output states: "No resource found that matches the given name (at
'background' with value '@drawable/test_bkgd')"

Expected Results:  
aresgen output that states the file that is malformed.
