Grasping at straws here but thought maybe one of you might have insight into my question on Stack Overflow... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10392688/android-listview-row-layout-ignoring-padding#

lets try setting an id for this LinearLayout and apply the padding @ runtime

<br />
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" style="@style/Widget.Layout.ComponentEntry" android:padding="@dimen/preferred_padding" /><br />
	<include layout="@layout/component_entry_summary" /><br />
</LinearLayout>

actually since you already have a reference to the view use the View class's setPadding(int, int, int, int) <-(left, top, right, bottom) method
... just an idea, when ever I run into problems with with xml I revert to using the java equivalent usually with better results
