Second bullet point below Technical Guidelines is

Allow search bots to crawl your sites without session ID's or arguments that track their path through the site. These techniques are useful for tracking individual user behavior, but the access pattern of bots is entirely different. Using these techniques may result in incomplete indexing of your site, as bots may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same page

The way that some people talk, you would think that dynamic content = cloaking. As someone recently pointed out, Google serves me different HTML code than they do to someone that use IE as their browser. The real content is the same, but the code they output is different based on my UA.

Go ahead and do some minor things, just don't go overboard with your cloaking. Or if you do go overboard, don't cry about it if you get dinged for it.
