You will not get penalised for this. Despite what some people would have you believe, as long as cloaking is not used to unfairly gain an advantage in the search engines, this kind of cloaking is fine.

Yeah, I'd happily report a site if I found it doing this. There is a check box on the spam report form for hidden text/links.

As a slight aside, does anybody know what weighting Google gives to image map links. I.e. are they equivalent to normal links?
