IE blocks certain cookies if a site doesn't publish a privacy policy in a certain format. Google discovers that if they make a fake privacy policy, IE is too stupid to check if it's real or not. That's not cool, regardless of what the user told G+. If Facebook pulled that they'd be raked over the coals.
The thing with safari was even worse. Google had a whole invisible iframe, just for safari users, to bypass their browser cookie preferences.
If it's a browser default and google wants someone to opt in then they need to walk the user through changing the setting, not simply assume they want to be tracked however google likes and hack around the block.
