They must be :) I was referring to the answer I quoted. It says that
when credit authorization is put on hold at the credit company or carrier
(if using carrier billing) for some reason, Google checkout will eventually
time out and cancel the transaction. Quote: "It's not a bug, it's the spec".
Since it's actually out of their control, some orders will be cancelled
occasionally. The problem is that apparently it's happening rather
often for some people.

No time for a full translation right now, but this is the original thread
(in Japanese):

(some Google employees are actually nice enough to follow up on
Market issues, and report back to public forums)

I haven't seen this one for a while, too bad it's back :(.
