Push-based syncing of my emails is broken once I enabled 2-step authentication and set and used application-specific password in my exchange account configuration. Manual fetch syncing works fine (I'm able to open the Mail app and fetch new emails). It's been months since I enabled 2-step authentication, so I'd like to know if we're dealing with a feature or a bug of Google Sync, or if my configuration is the problem.

Here's some details about my phone:
iOS version: 5.1

Mail, Contacts, Calendars:
  Accounts: 
    iCloud:
    Exchange:
      Mail Folders to Push: Inbox
  Fetch New Data: Push
  Default Account: Exchange
