Given they use the stock agent, they would probably see the cloaked page. And with Google, it would also cache the page unless the noarchive tag is used. The Google agent is pretty consistent, whereas fast and AV appear to change monthly! Many times with only minor changes.

FAST-WebCrawler/2.2.11
FAST-WebCrawler/2.2.10
FAST-WebCrawler/3.2

Scooter-3.0.FS
Scooter-3.0.3
Scooter-W3-1.0

Beware that useragent spoofing is simple, and "others" could find the pages too.
