I don't know of the particular reasoning, but I assume you see the
appropriate behavior when <guid> is not present? Have you found that
<guid> is used both in instances when isPermaLink is set to false and
when it's set to true?
Just had a look at one of my own feeds, and I can say that with
isPermalink="false", the default iGoogle feed reader uses <link>, not
<guid>.

When displaying an RSS 2.0 feed in iGoogle, <guid> is used instead of
<link> as the url when the title is clicked. According to the RSS 2.0
spec, <guid> is optional, and it "uniquely identifies the item. When
present, an aggregator may choose to use this string to determine if
an item is new."
Does anyone know the decision behind using <guid> instead of <link> as
URL?
