At some point the dev tools started automatically appending a version specifier to your resource names if your resource names used specifiers that Android 1.5 didn't understand. Android 1.5 doesn't understand the density specifiers, they were introduced after it was released.
Therefore drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, and drawable-ldpi are actually now considered drawable-hdpi-v4, drawable-mdpi-v4, and drawable-ldpi- v4. Android 1.5 does understand the version specifier, so it won't read something with -v4 on the end, only being API level 3. You can just change your drawable-mdpi to drawable anyway. The documentation says that drawable is considered medium density class by default. Once the mdpi specifier is removed, the new build tools will stop appending -v4 to it, which will let Android 1.5 read it again.
