I can\'t seem to loop animated gifs with the Google Maps API. It plays the animation the first time around but will not play it again after that.
Can anyone point me in
Key is to set optimized: false
, but since you already have and its not working - I tested to create own simple example and it worked.

function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title: 'Hello World!',
icon: "http://gwtportlets.googlecode.com/svn-history/r46/trunk/src/org/gwtportlets/portlet/public/img/portlet-loading-32x32.gif",

Edit it as you please to suit your needs, you can also try to swap using of google.maps.MarkerImage
to google.maps.icon
because MarkerImage seems to be deprecated see : MarkerImage and Icon.
Good luck with da code.!
