[Proj] Problem overlaying georeferenced images in Google, Maps(projection problem!)

Now, the results in Google Earth:

The image before reproyecting (UTM zone 30 datum ED50)
http://www.nebulared.com/tmp_geo/Balearic_Island_UTM_ED50.png

The image reproyected
http://www.nebulared.com/tmp_geo/Balearic_Island_Reprojected.png

What's the problem?:
- The input image's projection really isn't UTM ED50 (Mapinfo lies??), or is bad georeferenced (low probability...)
- The output image's projection really isn't GMaps projection (assuming GMaps projection = GEarth projection)
- GMaps projection not equal GEarth projection (I think so...)
- Any other?

The line executed:
gdalwarp 
	-s_srs "+init=epsg:23030 +towgs84=-84,-107,-120,0,0,0,0" 
	-t_srs "+init=epsg:3785 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0" 
	-tr 250 250 
	-co INTERLEAVE=PIXEL 
	Balearic_Island_UTM_ED50.png
	Balearic_Island_Reprojected.png

The epsg codes:
Input code (23030):
# ED50 / UTM zone 30N
<23030> +proj=utm +zone=30 +ellps=intl +units=m +no_defs  <>


Output code (3785):
# Spherical/Web Mercator
<3785> +proj=merc +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +k=1.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0.0 +a=6378137.0 +b=6378137.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null +no_defs <>


Sorry for the insistence, and thanks a lot
Jorge
