I use a javascript based runtime user tracking. For the first time i found entries with this User Agent: Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) res=1024x768 Maybe ist just a little joke with a false User Agent, but if not, Googlebot must have executed JavaScript. Anyone with similar experiences?

simple javascript - yes complex javascript - no
Simple javascript such as simple redirect [is now/can be] followed by Google just based on my experience but complex script such as JS redirect to a cgi script for internal processing cannot be followed.

If it is a bare http - google will read it out of the js and add it to the crawl list - they won't "execute" the js. (least not yet).
