Pidgin on my desktop box does detect the calls. And of course the calls come through just fine within Gmail.
I ran the telepathy debugger and can confirm the following:

1. If "Forward to Google Chat" is checked in Google Voice, my Gtalk account on the n900 receives a packet initiating an audio chat when I call my google voice number.

2. Telepathy gabble chokes on the request and sends back an error: "Unsupported content transport."

3. This is still a bug in more recent versions of telepathy: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33788

The problem lies in the fact that the xml initiating a Google voice call forwarded via Google talk looks somewhat different than other Google talk audio chats. Getting telepathy to cooperate/receive the call this would require some considerable hacking of the telepathy-gabble package bundled with the n900.
