Weren't all these cases found to be because the advert included a (the Google+) trademark? Do users have the right to use it in their ads?

IANAL but Google have strict rules on how you can use their logos: http://www.google.com/permissions/guidelines.html

And facebook ads' terms of service is pretty clear about having the right to use them: http://www.facebook.com/ad_guidelines.php

FB would have no idea if the user had permission to use the G+ trademark or not, unless Google had complained, which has certainly not been a part of this story so far.
