Grab a screen lock as a work around. Nexus One has some issues with the low-power mode. Unfortunately, from my wireshark traces it basically fails to wakeup for multicast events due to aggressive power saving. Other devices will perform differently. It would be better if they released a patch for this so 2.2 can get an update. Releasing for a later version 2.3...., doesn't help much.
