Googling for Google Information for Webmasters [google.com]
... returns www.google.ie/intl/ga/... [google.ie] at #1 - instead of google.com.

Googling for Google Informationen für Webmaster [google.com]
... returns www.google.li/intl/de/... [google.li] at #1 - instead of google.de.

Some other queries return .jp / .kr pages above .com pages ...

Did Google loose it's geographical filters?

Looks like these URLs and others are missing from Google (no listing, no cache)

[google.com...]
[google.com...]
[google.com...]
[google.com...]
etc.

They're findable via Google site search [googlesite.google.com] though.

I wonder what happened?

I don't think it's duplicate merging. cache:www.google.com/webmasters/ should return the page with the URL of one of the mirrors in that case.

www.google.com/about.html in, www.google.com/webmasters/ out. Curious.
