Google aren't using (i.e. re-implemented) any of the GPL-only mobile libraries though, are they? It's all a subset of the Java SE + their own APIs, is that correct?

That's correct, but the dispute in this thread was about *why* they wouldn't want to use the GPL-only mobile libraries.

Sure, but it does then mean Google could indeed have started out from the OpenJDK and availed of the GPLv2+CE. That certain parts of JavaME are GPL-only for mobiles is then not relevant.
