I also have to wonder if those 15% datacenters have anything to do with something Matt Cutts noted on his blog last week: I have heard some reports of people having issues with doing a 301 ... but we may be due to replace the code that handles that in the next couple months or so.

I think that is the case - 301 worked properly a few months ago, so they are likely to repair it, and this thread is a good place to point the problem out to GoogleGuy.

Google "hide URL" tool shows (C) 2002 Google in footer - it just requires much development and I'm sure it will be upgraded in time. I has plenty of bugs, some of them dangerous, but the team has apparently more important things to do right now.
