Evidence provided: Bing links to SunSpider, but Google doesn't.
But hang on: did Google ever link to SunSpider?
But hang on #2: Google links to a WebKit blog post announcing SunSpider v1.0, and a Wikipedia article about SunSpider, both of which link to SunSpider. If Google was intentionally blocking information about SunSpider, motivated by Google having forked WebKit, wouldn't they block these links as well?
Google used to link to the actual benchmark test page, as I used to always find the actual benchmark URL through searching Google for "sunspider". While they link to other sites that then link to the actual test page, by removing the actual benchmark link (that used to be the first result for years) they make it far harder to get the actual page. It's indirect, and something fishy is going on.
