Right, I missed this the first time around. I have a feeling that the
problem here is the same as all problems with the Google layer --
OpenLayers assumes that it is unprojected, when in reality, it is
projected. This only works so well. I'd say this can be filed as a bug
against OL2.5, though it's possible my resolution of the ticket will
simply be "Switch to the new GoogleMercator Layer" once that gets into
trunk.
