TMXLoader.loadFromAsset() tries to call TMXTiledMap.getTextureRegionFromGlobalTileID() with ridiculous negative number

[jtrobinson]

I've been struggling for days with getting a simple map to load; the desert.tmx map loads properly, but all maps that I try to make through Tiled map editor (also using gzip encoding) fail with the same message:

02-01 10:58:17.645: E/AndEngine(5121): GameScreenV2.onCreateScene failed. @(Thread: 'GLThread 430')
02-01 10:58:17.645: E/AndEngine(5121): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No TMXTileProperties found for pGlobalTileID=-2147483642

The GLThread number varies from run to run, but the pGlobalTileID is ALWAYS -2147483642.
