Text doesn't show up with android:textStyle="italic"

Question

Below is the XML I am using and when I use the android:textStyle="italic" attribute, the text doesn't show up. Basically any TextView with the style SummarySubtitle will not show up.

    <style name="SummarySubtitle" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
       <item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
       <item name="android:layout_height">fill_parent</item>
       <item name="android:gravity">right|center_vertical</item>
       <item name="android:layout_weight">1</item>
       <item name="android:paddingRight">6dp</item>
       <item name="android:textSize">12dp</item>
       <item name="android:textStyle">italic</item>
   </style>

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="70dp"
       android:orientation="vertical">

       <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/summary_header"
           android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="30dp"
           android:orientation="horizontal">

           <TextView android:id="@+id/summary_title" android:text="Title"
               style="@style/SummaryTitle"/>

           <TextView android:id="@+id/summary_subtitle"
               android:text="Subtitle " style="@style/SummarySubtitle"/>

       </LinearLayout>

       <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/summary_subheader"
           android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="20dp"
           android:orientation="horizontal">

          <TextView android:id="@+id/summary_min" android:text="@string/min"
              style="@style/SummaryHeader"/>

          <TextView android:id="@+id/summary_max" android:text="@string/max"
              style="@style/SummaryHeader"/>

          <TextView android:id="@+id/summary_avg" android:text="@string/avg"
              style="@style/SummaryHeader"/>

      </LinearLayout>

      <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/summary_values"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="20dp"
          android:orientation="horizontal">

         <TextView android:id="@+id/summary_value_min"
             android:text="$0.00" style="@style/SummaryValue"/>

         <TextView android:id="@+id/summary_value_max"
             android:text="$0.00" style="@style/SummaryValue"/>

         <TextView android:id="@+id/summary_value_avg"
             android:text="$0.00" style="@style/SummaryValue"/>

     </LinearLayout>

 </LinearLayout>

Relevant quote: "Oh yeah, I have seen that too. But when you run your app, it renders correctly."

It doesn't show up on the layout's graphical representation but works correctly when you build and run the app.
