SecurityException on window manager addView

This is a stack trace from v3.8-beta3. It is a pain. Crash occurs on this line.

I could just wrap it in a try/catch block, but without knowing what's actually going on that would be messy. Only one user in the beta test (~150 people) appears to have reported it, so it could easily be device-specific, but it appears that the service is somehow starting without the required permissions to draw overlay views. This should not be possible; regardless of what the user throws at it, Status should never reach this line if the overlay permission hasn't been granted. Agh.
