This is intended by Google.

Google wants to take out sites that they 'think' (their criteria) is manipulating their search returns in hoping for a better ranking.

Your site seems to be catched by the filter and is dumped to the trash can.

I have been observing this since October 2003 and they are doing the same thing, sometimes the outcome is good and sometimes it turn sour and this month, it seems to hit quite a lot of 'established' site. I have notice at least 4 sites that used to rank #1 with their keyword for years now no way to be seen (and my own opinion think that they deserve the place).

Google objective is clear, is just the current algo doesn't work 100% effectively.
