EPSG:4326, or WGS84, is only one way to refer to places on the earth by longitudes and latitudes; it seems that google maps come in a Mercator projection, EPSG:3857, read e.g. this: http://docs.openlayers.org/library/spherical_mercator.html or

But the fact that the output of get_map() includes the bounding box in geographic coordinates (epsg:4326) does not imply that the matrix is on the same projection. This should be specified. I can provide you a utm raster along with bounding box coordinates in geographic coordinates (epsg:4326).

So do you mean (and I've not tried your code yet, sorry) that the corners may well be at the given lat-long points but half way along any edge might not be at the halfway-point in lat-long? if you convert the bbox coords to epsg:3857 then maybe you have a correctly projected raster in those

A second issue with the web mercator projection epsg:3857 is that some software seem to store an incorrect proj.4 string for the projection, leading to shifts when passing objects from one software to another. See:
