There are a lot of pharmacy spammers that are using st.php to get to their URL's...

http://www.scarecrowmovies.com/st/st.../mirror/32238/
So I believe Google decided to screw anyone with st.php and url on the page. This doesn't mean other scripts are not susceptible to this same attack. It just means some Russian idiot decided to target ST since it is the most widely available script.

If true then that sucks as there's no good way to block it. i.e. if you use mod_rewrite to only allow your domain as the referer then you loose all the people surfing with no referer. Everyone could rename st.php to something random I suppose. Or perhaps a "session" key inserted into the url but that would have to come from smart scripts.
