We have put up a very simple page that sometimes reproduces the problem. On some machines it happens maybe 1/10 times, on others it happens every time: http://sandbox.redfin.com/frames.htm This is a very simple page where the map is in a frameset.
To reproduce the problem: Refresh the page until you get a script error saying "google is not defined" Alternately, just press "enter" in the address bar to load the page again without doing a refresh.
