Google considers the sitemap to be invalid, but both the sitemap and the sitemap themselves are being checked for the sitemap. Error: Missing XML Tag

Question

From googling around it looks like the old google bug returned ....

http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help-Tools/browse_thread/thread/4e43c2efecb881cf?pli=1

My sitemap index file and the sitemap itself are checked here: http://www.validome.org/google/validate

but Google Webmaster Tools says:

Missing XML tag

This required tag is missing. Please add it and resend.

• Can anyone confirm that this problem sounds like a repetition of a Google error?
• Is there a workaround to their error, where indicating something different could persuade Google to accept the sitemap?
