I was running netstat at the same time, to see what communications are taking place. It looked strange - I didn't see any connections to external IPs during the google account sign-in step; only after it fails, netstat reports a connection to market.android.com IP in some WAIT state. I checked for any firewall issues, and at least ping (from inside Kobo) had no problem connecting to that IP. Of course, they can be blocking specific ports, not IPs.
Hmm...maybe it was MarketUpdater.apk...I don't remember now, but I do have a Market app running in services under "Manage Applications", in addition to GoogleFrameworkServices...

I ran into the same issue you did with logging into my Market account. That is the connection problem I was hoping someone with a bit more knowledge about these things than I could solve. Thanks for looking into it a bit further, and I hope that what I came up with is a start?
