In case anyone encounters this issue: Based on the acceleration values one gets during a screen flip I think the accelerometer is mounted on the screen assembly so they probably can't be powered independently. If this is the case it's obviously a hardware implementation decision that Android should hide. Don't be surprised if future phones exhibit different behavior because the accelerometer is housed in a different location.
