I've worked at companies that did a great deal of double rendering to make sure that google saw the content, even when we filled in most of the content via Javascript. (Of course Google REALLY hates it if it figures out your content is different than what it scraped...) We would make a basic version via server side templates (FreeMarker), then redraw the screen - which Google also hates.
There was a lot of mystery about "is Google even rendering our JS?" but now this comprehensive article seems to say the answer is "yes": How Google handles JavaScript throughout the indexing process
Interesting that it treats URLs with ?cgi=something style arguments differently in terms of scheduling stuff...
