Google doesn't consider most of the sites we think as mobile, as mobile... smart phone sites aren't mobile sites to Google.
So your redirects, aren't seen by Google bot, it hits the normal site like any normal surfer would.
Just like Google wont nail you for filtering off a type, source, location, country of traffic, they won't hit you for mobile redirects.
Most of us aren't masking the mobile site over the same url - which would mean the content is expected to be the same then. If you do, your content needs to be the same, otherwise it's like any other source of traffic being sold off.
The Mobile Google Bot looks for Wap sites, the same with mobile sitemaps are for Wap sites. Google considers Wap mobile sites, to actually be the mobile site.
.htaccess will redirect the most people.
Php is the next best, end of the day the person has to connect to it, to connect to the mobile site.. and the more connections you make on a mobile device, the less chance you have of making the redirect.
Javascript is just bad, bad for seo, bad for redirects, and should only be used as a last resort where you can't use .htaccess or php files.
