quick answer: never.

Naked domains cannt be CNAME aliases so only way to "land" them is
chain to specific IP address. That mean all your traffic will go to
only one computer. Google use another way to balance loading. So only
way to help your users is buy hosting for naked IP and redirect all
requests to full name.

I suggest default to www and let clients handle it. When blank domain unreachable, set standard so that client moves to www.[domain....

You can't use amazon elastic load balancer with naked domains either.
So this is not limited to google. It is a artifact of using cnames.
Which I think is reasonable.

You can give you users short domains like EXAMPLE.COM/KEY

In your DNS setting setup forwaring the EXMAPLE.COM to WWW.EXAMPLE.COM

Then EXAMPLE.COM/KEY will be redirected to WWW.EXAMPLE.COM/KEY and
then you can redirect to whenever needed.

This is 2 redirect instead of 1 but I guess users wan't notice it
much.
