Why does google.load cause my page to go blank?

Question

Well, this looks strange but I\'m not able to find a solution.

Why in the world does this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/carlesso/PKkFf/ show the page content and, then

You just have to define a callback, and it will not clear the page (maybe the older versions of google.load() did, but apparently the new ones do not if used with callback). Here a simplified example when I'm loading the "google.charts" lib:

if(google) {
    google.load('visualization', '1.0', {
        packages: ['corechart'],
        callback: function() {
            // do stuff, if you wan't - it doesn't matter, because the page isn't blank!
        }
    } )
}

When doing it whitout callback(), I still get the blank page too - but with callback, it's fixed for me.
