Nothing proprietary about safari on the iPhone. It's a scaled-down version of safari for "big" computes such as the Mac or a PC, lacking only Flash support, I think.
No, I suspect it has something to do with javascript. The site
http://books.google.com/googlebooks/mobile/ is based on frames, with the content of the content frame being loaded with a JS call. Which means that if your mobile browser doesn't support JS, you're SOL.
My SonyEricsson P1i has an integrated browser (read: proprietary) that does not like the google books mobile site either
