On the other hand Konqueror is happy viewing Google maps - just click on the
'Load Google maps in current browser' link and it works fine.

The fault is with google not Konqueror.

Simply change Konqueror's browser ID for maps.google.com to MAC OS Safari
and it will work fine with google maps, with no complaints.
