I'm not surprised that Google crawls URIs wherever it finds them, not just in hypertext links. From Google's point of view, there's always a chance that the URI points to something that someone might want to search.
This could be fixed by Planet Debian changing (or just removing) the @id attributes in the hide/show links. They aren't valid HTML or XML IDs, and anyways they don't seem to be used. (Some people consider it rude to generate and publish invalid URIs pointing to other people's domains, precisely because greedy automated scripts will eventually come along and try to dereference them.)
