I'd imagine that if they are a perfect duplicate of jquery.com, and jquery.com is constantly returning a 500 error page to the googlebot, then all the content on jquery.it would be "unique". There is so much of it, and all highly relevant content, that it's pretty much a no-brainer that it's pagerank would be so high. That said, I find it funny that there is so much vitriol against Google in this case when, as has been noted above, it's likely a misconfiguration on jquery.com's part.

Vitriol? Certainly not from me - I think I've been perfectly civil, and I am trying to understand the situation. I don't think your explanation holds. Pagerank is based on reputation (created by links and other means which Google isn't very specific about), more than on contents. jquery.com has a pagerank of 8, so it can't be all inaccessible to Google. The GP says that blog.jquery.com is inaccessible. So how does jquery.it get a pagerank of 8? Your explanation would look correct if jquery.com had a pagerank of 1 (due to misconfiguration) and jquery.it sneaked in with a rank of 2. But this isn't the pattern.
