It's quite simple, really: It's a bug in the Google Maps API, and no one
has proposed a workaround at the OpenLayers level. There was a post to
the Google Maps API Google Group on Jun 5 by Josh Livni
(http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/3cab18706cb51efd?hl=en)
demonstrating this behavior with the Google Maps API alone, with no
responses from that group.

Is there a solution that has been proposed which hasn't been accepted? I
hope not, since this bugs me very much as well, and I'd love to have it
fixed - I just don't have any way to do anything about it that I'm aware
of. If you have a patch or other contribution, and it hasn't made it to
trac yet, please do feel free to describe it in prose or code in the
ticket -- http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/FilingTickets has login
information, if that's a blocker.
