The idea of SSHing anywhere from a page containing third-party JavaScript (the Google ad) is terrifying, to say the least.

  Then don't use it. :) Seriously though, this is largely a techdemo. But I can see situations where it might be fun, like making nethack sessions available over the web. As a local installation I would suggest it's somewhat more secure than things like shellinabox. But yes, it's obviously inadvisable to use it to connect to your own servers. In some ways though, I find it interesting to consider why we feel it's less secure than a desktop ssh client. In particular, less secure than something like putty. With sufficient auditing, and some minor technical changes, I feel like the security issues could be made similar.
