Just checked my logs, they only go back to September, but the 301 was definitely in place at that time. So it's been at least 5 months that they've continued to index something they're not supposed to.
1) I tell Google via GWT to prefer the www domain
2) I tell Googlebot via 301 that everything is on the www domain
3) The content on "both" domains is 100% identical, and they're both on the same single IP
I don't know how I can make it any clearer to them... unless I set up a dynamic robots.txt that blocks googlebot on domain.com, but not www.mydomain.com
