I've now seen one entry hiding as a .txt file, and cached, to add to the 'authenticity'. Altavista also appeared to be affected, but not so seriously. The Google watchdog (quoted above) had some interesting comments last night. A friend, upon entering his fairly distinctive surname, also found a faked page of the Guardian showing an article about his cousin! Vigilance will help, but this is getting increasingly hazardous for new / naive users. This Google thing appears to be intensifying.
