I'm no SEO guru, but the Google database entry that has the domain name with no "snippet" of text matches this explanation. Generally, the "no snippet" sites in Google are sites that the Googlebot has found, but not crawled yet.
Obviously that's silly for CJ, unless: Googlebot came by one day and tried to crawl the site. Got confused, got lost, for whatever odd reason could not crawl. Site got treated as offline and removed from database. But of course with a million links incoming, it immediately got added back in, in the plain snippetless version. I'm guessing the snippet will be back soon, probably page rank also.
Also, Google has been "throttling" page rank for new sites -- it seems to grow slowly sometimes. If Google is confused and thinks CJ is new, it may take awhile before it "grows" back to PR8.
