While signed in to my Google account, I can't view the public google+ post posted above without being forced to create a Google profile. Public google+ posts appear in Google's search results. Doesn't that mean that anyone should be able to view it, not just members? Isn't that Cloaking which is against Google's own TOS?

Yes - its meant to be a publicly available page. Not sure what's happening for you - I too am signed into google, but have not created a public profile nor do I have a google+ account.
I'm not even signed in, and I can read it fine. I think there must be some other bug going on here.
