Actually, i just noticed something bad, bad, bad from google. When 
activating Google Apps For Teams Edition, it actives gtalk automatically 
for the domain, so i guess the rerouting behavior was understandable in 
my case. I just disabled it, and hope we'll see some change in a few 
hours/days.

On another note, it would be indeed usefull to have a modus operandi for 
XMPP Federation related problem reporting with google.
