Ah ha - ok worked out what it was.

I had based our Text markers on the Tooltip Overlay example
http://gmaps-samples-flash.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/TooltipOverlayDemo/TooltipOverlayDemo.html

The example places the tooltips into PANE_FLOAT which i was doing as
well however it seems that, if you put overlays into that layer, then
zoom breaks. I changed our markers to go on the PANE_MARKER layer and
it works fine now.

Not sure if this is a constant problem or just if you try to put
things into that pane during map initialization or what.

Should i file this as a bug?

Cheers,
Chris
