Do you really think that the Google algorithm will totally disregard that page simply because of the noindex tag?

Yes, because if Google respects the noindex meta -- and again, we have nor reason or evidence to suggest that it doesn't -- then that's what it is supposed to do, the page is not in its index.

Do you have any evidence that Google does not fully support the noindex directive?
