I noticed this problem when the new Droid Eris came out. At first, i started messing with minsdk and even lowered it to "2" but that didnt fix it, the apps didnt show up in the market. I ran through Verizon and Sprint stores for days to try to get this to work.
I dont think Google people even know the problem exist. I am surprised that this problem hasnt been fixed for such a long time now. Anyway, the reason why you can 't see your app on HTC Hero/Eris or any other 1.5 phones is because you have copy protection set to "On". You can turn this off in your developer console when logged in to your Android Market account and editing your application description/title cheers!
