I emailed Mt. Gox about this yesterday.  No response yet.  The closest I've found so far is https://mtgox.com/data/allHistory.json, which is the data behind the "All time" chart.  It seems to have open/high/low/close per day but is missing recent data.

How interpret this data (this four value)? Ends with [0.79,0.82864898443222,0.73140001296997,0.7665]
when was  0.7665 $/BTC
We have old data, new full data to daily collect and no middle time data....

Comparing with the numbers that appear when you hover over the graphical chart, I believe the four numbers are [open, high, low, close].

Also, the data ends with this: "start":1279424586,"period":86400

86400 seconds is 1 day.  1279424586 is Sun, 18 Jul 2010 03:43:06 GMT (http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm).  I take that to mean the end of the July 17 trading day in Mt. Gox's time zone.  July 17 is also the date Mt. Gox was announced (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=444.0), so I'm guessing that is where the data starts.

We still should have a more official (and complete) source rather than reverse engineering the site.
