After investigating this a bit further, I've determined that the

getting invoked. It's just SensorEventListeners that don't get
invoked when the screen is turned off. That's good to know, but
doesn't get me any closer to a solution. Any suggestions for what I
can do? Surely it can't be the intended behavior that it's impossible
to turn of the screen without also turning off all sensors.
We haven't got a straight answer about this, AFAIK. This works
fine on the G1, but doesn't work on the N1. If you search the
archives, I think that somebody said that it used to work on the
N1 as well but at some point it stopped working. If true, that
at least says that it's not a hardware issue. But who knows about
other platforms? I know that the iPhone behaves the same way,
so it's possible that it's a hardware related limitation on some
platforms. Pulling up the kernel sources maybe the only way to
settle this, and then only if the accelerometer driver is exposed.

PS: filing a bug on b.android.com is probably the right thing to do here.
if this is really an attempt to save battery, it's a poor
implementation
because the alternative is to keep the display on, which is grotesque
