There are quite a few significant issues with the sensor API as it currently exists in the G1, where many aspects were too loosely defined, and where there are a few bugs.
A later version of the Android API is expected to resolve those issues (and to provide backward-compatibility with the current API). At this point your best bet is to modify your code based on what you see on the device until it does what you expect. I realize that's a sad recommendation, but it's pretty much the only realistic one.
