Horizon effect? The undefended pawn is tempting bait to a materialistic
evaluation. Maybe Junior's evaluation algorithm doesn't recognize that g6
immobilizes the bishop, so he has to search a few plies down and doesn't reject
the move until he sees that the bishop can be captured?

At your game's time control Junior picked this move, after 15 seconds, but if
Junior has more time he won't stick with it. For instance, on my Pentium 4 2.4
GHz he changes his mind after 22 seconds:
