Others have reported similar experiences.

The "callback" parameter is not fully supported. It's not listed at
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/index.html

If you're using the HTTP service server-side, a callback parameter is
unlikely to be needed; and if you're using that call client-side,
presumably Google feel that you should be using the documented
GClientGeocoder.
