There's a bug in maps.27a.js that produces these errors instead of
displaying 'The Google Maps API key used on this web site was registered
for a different web site. You can generate a new key for this web site
at http://www.google.com/apis/maps/' if winsow.location.host isn't of
the format *.co.*, *.com.* or *.off.*

If the key check fails, the API tries to check to see if the host is one
of a particular set of Google aliases, like maps.google.com.jp or
www.google.co.uk in which case it will allow the API to run with an
incorrect key. However, if your window.locatio.host is something like
www.domain.org.uk or www.domain.net.jp or 123.123.123.123, then the
associative array Gd[] has no entry for "org" or "net" or "123" and the
code crashes.

Basically, you need to use the correct API key.
