Yep, but I should have also mentioned that to Verify your site you only need to remove the directive until you Verify. Just remove that line from .htaccess, create the file that Google tells you to, upload it, verify, then re-add it.
I haven't tested to see if Google keeps track of these stats once you replace the directive, but I don't see why not - the Verify function only exists to see if you own the site.
Of course, scratch all this if you really need the robots.txt to be read by Google on an ongoing basis. You obviously would have to keep the ErrorDocument directive out.
Damn, I should be sleeping now...
