Yes, they do appear to be somewhat backlevel, but that address (among a 
few others) is what www.google.com (among a few others) resolves to right 
now - even when doing a manual lookup starting at the gtld servers.

Right now they're coming out with a short 10 minute ttl, but my local 
nameservers still have www.google.com cached (to those "old" servers) with 
more than 24 hours left on the ttl.  I don't think Google has fully left 
emergency mode yet.  And even if they have, the recovery measures they 
took will not age out for hours.
