1) Open the project explorer view.
2) Create a text file in the workspace.
3) Programmatically add a problem marker to the text file. I did so by executing the following code:

IFile file = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getFile(new Path("/MyProject/MyFile"));

try {
     IMarker marker = file.createMarker(IMarker.PROBLEM);
     marker.setAttribute(IMarker.SEVERITY, IMarker.SEVERITY_ERROR);
     marker.setAttribute(IMarker.MESSAGE, "test");
}
catch (CoreException e) {}

4) Notice in the project explorer view the project has a red X next to it, but not the file.
5) Close the project explorer view and reopen it. Notice the file now has a red X next to it.

The file should always have the red X too. This might be related to bug 147467. This is a much simplier example tho.
