How do I deal with a MIT project with no included copyright notice?

There’s a (possibly abandoned) library I’m using in my project. Its Google Code project page mentions it’s MIT licensed. Nowhere in the code itself, nor any of the included files, is there a copyright notice or license specified. The closest thing is the author’s name in one of the headers.

What are the requirements for an open-source license inside an open-source license?

If I include an open source library in my project that is licensed under the MIT license, but contains BSD-licensed code that requires attribution (correctly attributed inside the project), is it my responsibility to attribute it again if I decide to use that library? Normally this is not a problem (I would just credit everyone regardless of the license) but on a mobile platform there is not a lot of real estate or efficient ways to show / bundle these licenses.
