Let me guess - your DHCP doesn't provide default gw, only client IP and DNS server. With no default route the requests to 8.8.8.8 don't even make it out from the client (no route to host). With 192.168.1.2 it works because that IP is on the same subnet as the client and doesn't require default route to reach it. Could that be the reason? Just a guess...
