Unlisted Picasa Web albums are being listed

Even though the robots.txt file for Picasa Web Albums disallows indexing, unlisted albums are still being listed (minus the content).  I thought robots.txt was intended to prevent search engines from listing anything about "disallowed" pages.  In my opinion, the exclusion should not be limited to content.

Consider a private site not to be seen by the public, but hosted on a public web server.  Because of this situation, the webmaster would likely create a robots.txt file to stop search engines from crawling -- theoretically eliminating most unwanted exposure.

With Google publishing links to "disallowed" pages in their results, it would be very easy to accidentally expose this website.  A simple link on an obscure website could be enough to do the damage.

How do the other search engines match up?  From what I can tell, Yahoo is the only one that seems to be following the robots.txt in a way that makes sense.  MSN shows similar search results to Google.
