Solution? Well, there's not a great one yet, but a only workaround is to create a dummy account with no rights and set to wake up to a logged-in desktop. Then switch users to this account before sleeping. That way, the scheduled wake will be into this benign account, and your account will still be running in the background. Waking into an open account doesn't cause the machine to go back to sleep.
The obvious solution will have to come from Apple: If it's a scheduled wake to an authentication screen, don't go back to sleep. Maybe in Leopard -- fingers crossed.
