In my testing Google Frame does not provide the applicationCache to IE either (it does provide localStorage to IE6 and IE7, not sure about Web SQL). It kind of makes sense because I believe Google Frame only starts doing its thing (take over) once it has read the special meta tag - so after the page is retrieved from the server.
