There is a TechTalk about Closure where the speaker makes a big deal out of the whole project being done by many different developers in their twenty percent time, so yeah, they might get cut some slack and hopefully they'll be good about accepting patches to get some of these things fixed.
Gmail works pretty well, so the library can't be too horrible. I'm glad I read this, I was thinking of doing a project using the Closure library, but I guess I'll stick with jQuery.

Might I suggest taking a look at Dojo as well, depending on your requirements, Dojo is really good at it's target. Which is large browser based apps. I use jQuery extensively for the smaller problem sets, but their is no substitute for Dojo when you start getting into large browser apps. Dojo provides the full stack for browser app developers and would be similar to Closure in the segment that it targets. It's worth s look to see if you like it, further it can be used in conjunction with jQuery they are not incompatible and play very well together.

Gmail is hand coded, not Closure.
The Gmail team uses Closure Library/Templates/Compiler.
