I think I know the reason why it works (at least for a while): the set of certificates in this custom ipsw is different, and since not many users have installed it, at least for a while it works. As soon as someone another iPhone that shares the same certificates attempts to use Push, it fails.

The problem is the standard hacktivation certificates from pwnagetool and redsnow is that they are the same and tons of iPhones are loaded with them, therefore the chance of certificate conflict is enormous.
