It's clearly possible for a pathological Android application to destroy the power management policy. But to do that, the author would have to explicitly take a wakelock. That's difficult to do by accident. The various failure modes that exist in a non-wakelock world can be triggered in a wide variety of ways by accident. A sufficiently reductionist viewpoint will equate the two situations, but in the real world they're clearly different.
