  Ah.  Google's party line is apparently "Today, we ran a special
'doodle' that  showcased this [new background image] functionality by
featuring a series of images as the background for our homepage. We
had planned to run an explanation of the showcase alongside it—in the
form of a link on our homepage. Due to a bug, the explanatory link did
not appear for most users. As a result, many people thought we had
permanently changed our homepage, so we decided to stop today’s series
early. We appreciate your feedback and patience as we experiment and
iterate."

  The last part might as well read, "After getting complaints from
approximately the entire planet, we realized we had screwed the pooch
big time".
