We are not trying to pretend that we are Safari :-) But it looks like for some reason our User-Agent string is interpreted by Google as being from Safari. This is actually a fault in Google's servers, but I'll keep this bug open because we might want to find another User-Agent string as a workaround.

After logging in, Google immediately sent me a message asking whether I logged in as Safari, with my public IP (so I have no reason to think it was anyone but me). Is signon-ui spoofing as safari?
