I just can't see Google doing anything which affects dhtml menus. They are so widespread in general web design (as opposed to WW web design?) that they would be taking a tremendous hit on potential backlash for what would be little return.

As people have mentioned, outside a hand check, who can tell the difference between a background .gif and text? How does your bot read a css file called by .js? (Common dhtml) How does your bot deal with alternate style sheets? (Common dhtml) How does your bot deal with @import? (Very common dhtml) How does your bot deal with sliding menus? (Common dhtml)

IMO it's far too much effort for far too little effect. Far more effective to follow the usual Google methodology and blow smoke...
