It looks like this might be related to the Market app version, not the Android version. I just saw similar behavior (no BroadcastReceiver called during install, or on first launch) on an Android 2.2. handset running the updated Android market app (version 3.0.27) which came out a couple weeks ago.
Can anyone else confirm this problem? Are third party BroadcastReceivers for the com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER Intent still supported by the new Market app?
