I vaguely remember that designer adds a top-level layout implicitly, or
something, so that if you add another one you end up with too many layouts
-- or something like that.  Sorry for the vagueness, but if you think
along those lines I think you'll find the problem.

I had exactly the same problem as you, and tested that uic (the C++ output
version of pyuic) does the same thing.  Somebody on the qt list pointed
out the problem to me, and though I don't think I ever got round to
testing that that really was the problem, I think was confident at the
time that it would work.  Try searching the qt list for (the answer to) my
post if you're still stuck.
