It seems they do not, from my tests:

        * message xmlns='jabber:client' from='private-chat-dc9053c4-dc12-4615-8a01-62e06582b197 at groupchat.google.com' to='danielle.madeley at collabora.co.uk' jid='danni.m at gmail.com'
            * x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'
                * invite from='dannielle.meyer at gmail.com/gmail.24E97497'
                    * reason
                        "You've been invited to this chat room!"
            * x xmlns='google:nosave' value='disabled'
            * record xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/archive' otr='false'

So no, it seems that they don't comply with their own spec even. :o(

I considered that, is it correct though? GMail auto-approves any invite
it seems, the window just appears, so I don't think they really care
about the details.

Well a PMUC requires 3 people to initialise. I think the question is,
what happens if I'm talking to you, and I'm talking to Jonny, and I
upgrade one of those 1-to-1 chats to a PMUC with you and Jonny. I'll
test this and report.
