Yes, thank you, Andrew. I tried with the Google Maps page and it worked fine. I zoomed in for a while, and I didn't get any 403 errors - but there were moments when tiles were waiting to be loaded and there was no network activity. Most likely, the API has an internal throttling mechanism which prevents a burst of requests to the server, and things work out much smoother.
I will discuss this problem with the OpenLayers developers, since it seems it's an OpenLayers issue.
