Gmail oopses

So, if you use Gmail, I'm sure you're also getting the regular 'Oops' message:

I've been having this error on and off for at least 3 weeks, and sometimes it annoys me (OK, every time). Doing a basic research, it appears many people are aware of this error, but no one knows why. Even though the system is in the 'beta' stages, I think an explanation from Google would be nice. Someone on some Spanish blog mentioned that it has to do with the domain changes they're doing because of the G-mail lawsuit, but there's no evidence supporting this.

Does the fact that the service is advertised as 'Beta' make it OK for a company to ignore these kind of problems?

UPDATE: I followed a suggestion that someone gave to me, and it seems that the problem has gone away. What I did, basically, was to modify my bookmark of gmail, to connect thru https. This seems to avoid the Oopses.
