Yet Google has obvious duplicates, showing two pages indexed, one with the www and one without.
This was not the case only a few weeks ago. Has anyone heard what Google is smoking lately?

[edit reason] Examplified. [/edit]
Old pages are showing up again as "Supplemental Results" (current cache showing the recent pages, ie. the pages they were redirected to)
These were deleted from the server and 301'd in 2001 when I changed file extension. At the time the move went smoothly. A few months ago when changing extension again, I updated any old (2001) strays to go to their current location, could this have been when the problem started?
Even some current outbound tracking links that have always been 301's are showing up in my site list (those are showing as url only).
I'm wondering if G. is having issues with 301's lately to.
I've even found a few pages listed with a current cache as:
www.site.com/2001page.html
site.com/2001page.html
www.site.com/moved2004page.shtml
site.com/moved2004page.shtml
www.site.com/current.php
site.com/current.php
So Google is somehow seeing 6 duplicates of a page that is really only 1. I've tested the header responses and they show as propper 301's. (I don't have a 301 from www -> non www... from the looks of it I don't see how it will really help, and last time I added it I had troubles with other search engines.)
You Stated: I've even found a few pages listed with a current cache as:
www.site.com/page.html
site.com/page.html
I am seeing the same thing. I do have a 301 redirect (for several months now) and just noticed this happening yesterday! It seems the original (www.site.com/page.html) has the proper title and descriptions listed, but the site.com/page.html is just a url listing. I am curious if Google will backout of duplicating this listing.
Unfortunately, I see a different number of results for site:www.example.com and site:example.com from Google - Uugh!
