Let me provide more straight answer to your question:
Yes, Google fully obeys robots.txt file.

OK, if posed that way, I have another question: Does Google and Yahoo handle 307 redirects the same way? Do you recommend its use when needed?

W3C does not provide standardization, but Google doesn't brake their rules either.
Internet standards are regulated by ISOC, IAG, IETF (IESG), IRTF (IRSG)... in that order.
Besides, there is very little awareness about differences in proprietary, open and industry accepted standards.
If company X says "We will provide some extra functionality by introducing Y feature", it doesn't brake any existing standard.
It is up to it's users whether they will use it or not.
Will it become a new widely accepted standard is not important at all.
