Does the current Zend_OpenId ( Release 1.10.8 ) work with Google? I am working on a project that will only use OpenId ( and maybe OAuth ) as the login and would love to know before spending countless hours with the dreaded Zend Framework :)

Nope, currently it does not.
But there is a lot of similar articles about how to "patch" zend_oauth to be able to work with openid 2.0
Like this: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-6905
It really works, i use such solution for about half of year without any troubles.
ps: due to it is a some kind of "dirty hack" - this solution does not provide ability of retrieving additional info, such as name, email, etc.

I only need to authenticate the user, so any other info is not needed. As long as it works it works. Thanks for the info!

yes, it would work, since all providers use oauth 1.0, except of google and yahoo.

No, Zend_OpenId doesn't work with Google without patching.
You should use instead janrain implementation (http://openidenabled.com/php-openid/). It supports the OpenID Google Apps discovery.
