Why would it be a surprise if Google's bot did assemble JavaScript? Google was never a fan of cloaking, and to successfully punish hidden and disguised links, their bot would have to have been able to execute JavaScript for the last ten years at least.

JavaScript is code that you send to the client, so you should never expect it to add a layer of secrecy or security to your site. It should only ever be used for convenience functionality, never form validation or security.
