Google has a really nice document explaining how web developers can get Google to crawl non-AJAX versions of their web applications to make it possible for Google to index AJAX-heavy websites.

Do any other search engines support this standard?

I'm specifically interested in the fragment meta tag method, not just the #! URL method.

Simple answer, yes, Bing and DuckDuckGo support this.

This article suggests bing does support it. The site imelda-immobilien.de has no "static" pages, they're all ajax driven. A search on Bing and DuckDuckGo shows multiple ajax urls in the results.

Yahoo is powered by bing, and so their results show the same.

I would choose to use push state rather than hash bang AJAX URLs now. Google's Matt Cutts just said this about push state:

A correcly implemented site that uses push state typically doesn't need any extra support enabled for us to crawl it.

It should be much easier for other crawlers that might not support hash bang to deal with a push state site.

According to a web page that no longer exists, Bing does now support hash bang crawling. I haven't been able to find information about the meta fragment support for either Bing or Yahoo.
