Im guessing about 50% of that "unknown" is Deepbit.

I've noticed this chart goes screwy a lot.  Sometimes Deepbit looks like it has about 65% of the network, other times it isn't labeled.  I also don't ever recall seeing ABC pool (~800 G/hash) on there.

even with Deepbit calculated in, that's a lot of unknown. Overall hashrate has definetely risen the past couple days.

Woah, people around here as paranoid as shit or just very bored and have to start the same topic more than once :P

Use common sense and it will be clear why the chart looks like that.

That chart is coming from Blockchain.info, which is coming back up from an extended outage.  Thus that chart will be off for a day or so.

Here's an alternative chart:

ABC is a pool-hopping proxy, it doesn't mine blocks itself.

They've said that they do mine their own blocks when there aren't any pools to hop, so if there aren't very many prop pools left, then they could be making their own blocks.

The best thing for them is probably to split their hashrate among the hopping-proof pools when there are no profitable pools. It's possible they're doing just that and that this is the reason they're not showing up in the stats (there are many other plausible explanations of course).
