we know google has big troubles with redirecting/cache/hijacking/URL only spidering and more, but I never seen a domain name which does not exist - [my-%20my-%20domain.com...] indexed in google, how is that possible are the serps fully broken now, we also seen sites that dont exist anymore indexed.

because someone linked to you that way. I don't think it matters becuase there's no way Google followed that link, it doesn't work.

it's just a link on G right? If I link to http:**www.qwertyuikgfddfghjrtyuiopsdghhgfcvytfg-grtyuuyuujuujhyuttyrtfythghgygtygy.com, and G spiders this page, they will get this non-existing link and try to index it. If they can't index it it stays as link only

Would I be right in guessing that it's a URL-only listing? Google would not have fetched the URL, so they don't know it doesn't resolve.
It used to be possible to get non-HTTP subdomains (e.g. www%20.example.com) fully crawled and listed in Google with title and snippet if you had wildcard DNS and IP based hosting. I think that was fixed though.
