Google gets the images from a variety of providers and some of the data is older than others. The data is not always properly converted/projected to the proper coordinate system and I suspect some of the providers just "eyeball" the placement. I've found numerous cases where the photos are off by many feet/meters in different directions. In some cases, because it is a projection problem, the error is different from one corner of the image to the other.
