At our office we've got it to fire with and without being logged-in. That said I'm not sure how, when Google is testing, it reacts when one is logged in and sees the behavior and then they subsequently log out because that was the experience we had. Once caches were cleared and new sessions were being used to test it more (logged out of all Google accounts) the behavior had ceased and we couldn't reproduce it (logged out or in). We keep testing for it and will keep an eye on it. I'll report back when I see it again and we can do more testing around it.

Did you ever find anything else about this? Did you check other IP's to see if it was showing up in different locations? I can't get it to show which leads me to my next question; Were you signed into any google accounts when it happened? Interesting speculation. Did you ever find anything else about this?
