Most appreciated, Sir,

also, i asume googlebot can parse js and even jquery, but in my completely unscientific and unverified oppinion jquery makes it very difficult for googlebot to derive meaning from what you are doing. just one example, before jquery and ajax, display:none on a huge section of text meant one or two things - now it means 20.

I'm serving myoverlaypage.html in a div over the top of my regular content using jquery etc as I described above.  I have mylauncher.js which is an obfuscated javascript (chopped up programmatically and put back together, multiple branching conditionals, encoded) to launch the overlay div onload using jquery.  Googlebot just fetched all the js and then fetched myoverlaypage.html (which isn't linked anywhere on the entire planet, except for the obfuscated url in mylauncher.js) in the same session.  Hmmm.

was there the string, "h tt p:// www . yoururl . com" in the text? (munged so the forum won't create a link)? I've seen Google parse and crawl this:

<script>
dummy = 'h++p:// www . myurl.com';
// again, munged so the board won't create a URL
</script>

... simply the regexable shape of a URL was enough for G to pick it up and go. If not, then they are f'reals executing your code.

Yep it looks to me like they must have executed it.  To get around the problem you describe, not only the urls, but the whole script, is broken up into small strings of a few characters, concatenated and then eval'ed to tell jquery to launch the div over the top.  Wankers.

Oog. Are you certain there are no other references at all? No dns? Nothing?

Yep, myoverlaypage.html is not part of the cms that the site runs on so there can be no accidental links from that source and the page doesn't appear on the sitemap etc.  New site with virtually no promotion, I probably would have missed this bot activity if it wasn't for the fact that the site has no traffic yet.  The goal has been to keep that overlay page from getting indexed because it gives away the commercial nature of the site.  The IP whois's to Google and geos to Mountain View.

At this point, myoverlaypage.html is actually just a framebreaker  (to break out of the iframe in the overlay div)  and a not very well disguised js redirect to an affiliate program.  Googlebot also followed this redirect.

I guess it could be a manual spam checker surfing as Googlebot...

The domain continued to get indexed and now has some traffic.
