hm, sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "this" in the above, nor what 
you might see as "wrong" with the google.com CAA records.

AFAICT from section 5.3 of RFC6844, the google CAA statements of..

   CAA   tag   CAA
flags lngth  tag        value
----- -----  ---        -----
00     05    issue      symantec.com
00     09    issuewild  symantec.com

..correctly navigate the processing requirements...

5.3. CAA issuewild Property


    The issuewild property has the same syntax and semantics as the issue
    property except that issuewild properties only grant authorization to
    issue certificates that specify a wildcard domain and issuewild
    properties take precedence over issue properties when specified.
    Specifically:

       issuewild properties MUST be ignored when processing a request for
       a domain that is not a wildcard domain.

       If at least one issuewild property is specified in the relevant
       CAA record set, all issue properties MUST be ignored when
       processing a request for a domain that is a wildcard domain.


...am I missing something?

curiously,
