not sure if there is a work around but I believe this is a known issue
according to the latest sdk release notes
http://developer.android.com/sdk/RELEASENOTES.html
(copy and pasted below for convenience)
Known Issues
Sensor problems in Emulator
* If your application uses the Sensor API and you are running it
in the emulator on the Android 1.5 system image, you may experience
problems. Your application may generate ANR messages or crash when
using the sensors. The problem is being investigated.
Other
* We regret to inform developers that Android 1.5 will not include
support for the Zilog Z80 processor architecture.
I have a few apps that make use of the Sensor API and they are all
working great on my ADP1 with the 1.5 image installed, so it looks to
be just an emulator issues
