google probes the files:
the file  *GOOGLE2f0d34d6262c3ea1.html  *should return a 200, a probe 
on  *GOOGLE-probe2f0d34d6262c3ea1.html ( i think) *should return a 404, 
the problem is that cleanurl converts the later to a wiki call returning 
a 200 for an non-existing paga instead of a 404 ( this is planned to be 
changed for the new beta)

I added:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} GOOGLE
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [L]

just below the rewriteengine on

As a result you can't have pages with GOOGLE in the url like 
.../wiki/Main/GOOGLEInformation
