sorry, that's the problem with working with a higher level framework.
optimization comes next :-)
it's also why I posted a snippet above.

I recently switched to accessing google.com/jsapi directly, and that's
been working well so far.

Thanks for the suggestions. After progressing through that path, I
switched to slightly a slightly more up-to-date reference on the
google api page using the google.maps namespace, and the map works
well now.

tell me about it :-0

cheers,

BTW: the map works well now. the issue turned out to be (imho) waiting
until the map markup was present (it was hidden by yui until the
dialog was displayed) to call  google.load('maps',  '2',
{\"other_params\":\"sensor=false\"}); and   google.setOnLoadCallback
(map_initialize); to control when events ran.
