They might contact you by email or through the webmaster console but by the description you have given in you post, I think the the algorithm will start penalizing your website one way or the other.
Can you afford to risk this? is my question.

I know I cannot explain my situation to Google and even if I could they wouldn't care about it
But I am not sure if the Google spiders are able to see javascript.
Is it worth to risk a penalty? That's a good question. From my perspective, no. But our client thinks differently... He wants to show his flash page to the visitors with boring music opening in a maximized browser window without browser toolbars - and he doesn't care with
SEO rules. His keywords are quite competitive ones. His site wasn't listed in the top 100 before the html pages and I'm sure it wouldn't listed without html even if I'd point 200 good inbound links to his flash page.
So what can we risk? He wasn't listed and he won't if Google penalizes his website. Until then I can test how clever Googlebots are
However, if anyone has a good Google guideline-friendly solution for this situation, I'd be thankful to learn.
