I looked further into this and made some hacks to the code. First, in the
coverMousedown_ function, I set the cornerLeftDiv, cornerTopDiv, 
cornerBottomDiv, and
cornerRightDiv display property to none. I also added the display property of 
none to
the mapCover div. 
Next, in the initCover_ function, I added {display: 'block', background:
'transparent', opacity: 1, filter: 'alpha(opacity=100)'} and removed background:
G.style.fillColor.

This essentially removed the transparent cover when clicking zoom, but this OK 
for me
because I didn't want to see that anyway.

I'm not sure what causes this bug. Two things I can think of in my map that 
could
cause this are: 
1) I have a GTileLayerOverlay added by ESRI's Google API extension using the
mapextension class's addToMap method.
2) I am dynamically calculating the height and width of the map div when the 
page is
loaded or resized.

One more thing. In addition to the hacks mentioned above, I had to set the
overlayRemoveTime in the dragzoom.js file.
