No, never found a solution. I think Google restrict access to certain services from only Google licensed devices. So devices which don't *officially* have access to the Market seems to be the ones that can't access certain services. They can access some, such as gmail and gcal, but not all. Requests for auth tokens via the AccountManager calls the gsf and likely therefore sends the device's model back with the request so Big G can know if they would be a licensed device or not trying to access Google services.
The only solution in my app was to use OAuth2 explicitly and since that's via a different method, it seems to work nicely. HTH.
