I have a Samsung Galaxy S (retail European version), and can confirm this.
GPS only works immediately after it's been restarted by switching it
off/on in phone settings.
After a while (can't give exact duration, but somewhere between a few
hours and a few days) it stops working. This affects all applications:
Google Maps, GPS Test, etc. The device just never gets a GPS fix, and
the GPS "antenna" icon in the status bar never appears when it should.
From what I understand, there was supposed to be a hotfix for this, but
it got steamrolled by the 2.2 update.
Greg: you might want to test your code right after restarting GPS on the
phone.

I am not sure what to tell you. It feels like a device-specific bug.
Unfortunately, with neither of us having one, getting a reproducible
test case will be...troublesome.
