It is normal to get unnatural results, if the standard open-source rules are broken. It is normal for people to tighten their formulae and to enforce certain things, if webmasters can't seem to find their lost ethical sense. However, it's in no way normal for a random page element to create a totally unexpected effect in the main page of results. Seems the programming team is again in a race against time, before some smart guy finds a bug that can be exploited... Google is having problems, I suppose.
