I'd guess that Google are blocking the internet-facing IP address, and that NTTDoCoMo use NAT within their own network. Orange UK do the same -- each phone has a 10.x.x.x address and a very limited number of external addresses are used, maybe even only one. Orange use the X-FORWARDED-FOR header, which allows identification of the "real" user at the end of the line, and every well-behaved proxy should do this. Perhaps NTTDoCoMo don't. At the end of the day the developers here can only guess at how Google do their counting. Google aren't going to publish details and encourage circumvention! It is done by IP address, and they have said that they know about this sort of proxy. So I would guess that it depends on the correct forwarding header being used. There are sites which will show you the headers received.
