Thanks Ralf and Michael.

In my case the package.xml wasn't actually invalid, though all indications were otherwise.  As Michael Slusarz pointed out, the system was unable to find the Horde_Role package.  That was because I was using a separate PEAR install (created with pear config-create) and it was not being detected, even though I had properly set up the include_path.  I didn't figure out how to make horde-components use my PEAR install, so I just installed  Horde_Role in the global PEAR installation and then it worked.

Note for the future: if we can find some sane way to expose package.xml parsing errors via horde-components, it would make troubleshooting this kind of thing many miles easier.
