Well, the fact that Mt. Gox is running a business and engaged in a large number of transfers with reasonable delays on withdrawing funds may form an implicit contract to do the same in the future. Particularly since they do not warn potential BTC sellers on their site that there will now be _much_ longer delays in withdrawals.

That means Mt. Gox is responsible for the delay and damages due to the delay, regardless of the underlying cause.

Ask support.  SEPA takes less than a week (unless you make frequent withdrawals), so why bother?

2013-06-18 is the oldest I've seen from someone who haven't got a single withdrawal processed since then.  What state is the oldest in?  Confirmed or pending?

There is no queue for domestic JPY transfer.

For SEPA there has been a queue for as long as I can remember.  It is shorter now than in years.  MtGox are limited to 120k EUR day.

International withdrawal had a collapse after all other popular withdrawal methods were removed.  First redeemable codes (on request from US regulators), then LR (US again) and AurumExchange which carried several popular e-currencies, then OKPay, then Dwolla (the usual suspect).  Thousands of SWIFT transfers of a few hundred USD each then overloaded MtGox's bank.  This doesn't surprise me at all if what I read about Japanese banking in this forum is true.  (And I believe it is, knowing Japanese bureaucracy.)  Now MtGox are limited to 10 international withdrawals per day, and due to the investigation in the USSA (them again) they have trouble finding new deals with other large banks.

Fortunately the problems mostly affect USD withdrawals.  They brought this upon themselves, and should go kick their government's ass.  Or the DHS.  I'm not sure who rules who.

SEPA > 30k is more than two weeks delayed, and it will usually be faster to split up, yes.  Did you receive any other withdrawals the last two weeks which means you have been pushed back in the queue?

USD customers of Mt Gox brought this on themselves? Are you *$&%* kidding?

Now someone finally asks the obvious question. 

It is possible that MTGOX does not have enough JPY either, since most of their deposit came in as USD. They have to purchase JPY with their USD in order to satisfy JPY withdraw, but their USD were frozen by the banks

Maybe exchange is a bad idea, people should really trade bitcoin for goods/services, just need more supermarket accepting bitcoin

On mtgox, currency is auto-enchanges to match orders in different currencies order books to USD (well really any currency against any currency, but in this case JPY/USD).

JPY customers are ramping up their arbitrage efforts, take a look at the volume JPY over the past month.

Japanese banks are slow and difficult to deal with. And while others claim differently, I have not had any luck establishing a japanese account.

Only two accounts in the USSA containing a small part of their USD got frozen.  It only amounts to a part of their profit this year.  There are no reports of delayed JPY withdrawals indicating lack of funds.  Currency exchange takes place in their Japanese bank.  MtGox takes a 2.5% currency exchange fee, and I suspect this contributes a lot to their profit on low volume days when cross currency trades constitutes as much as a third of their total volume.  Selling volume in JPY indicates that at least 200000 USD worth of JPY is withdrawn on an average day, sometimes more.
