It sure seems like a good fit... Charbeat focuses on real-time analytics while Google delays stats. Adding Chartbeat's real time capabilities would be interesting.
I don't know if Google would take the performance hit of Charbeat's code though. It would make more sense to me for Google to simply build in Chartbeat's real-time block of popular pages into a new section. Add in "conversation" options to track Twitter, Facebook, etc and they'd have a new interesting social aspect.
Chartbeat has a way to go if they really want to be bought by Google. My money is on Google simply recreating the best parts of it with an eye toward performance over features.

These guys will get snatched up by Google. It would be a perfect complement to Google Analytics.
