Wow. If you guys can't catch BS, much less haulers doing this trick, you don't need to be pirating. Go mine in high sec.
QFT...

So far all I've seen in this thread is pure silliness...
Any reasonably on the ball gate camper is going to manage to bump a cloaked BS attempting this trick. the counter technique is really very, very simple.
1. Click target on overview before cloakage.
2. Click approach
3. Activate MWD (If you haven't already)
4. Deploy drones
5. Bump/De-Cloak
6. Profit???
Seriously, if you camp a gate, pay attention to your surroundings.
Pro tip for ya: When the gate you are watching flashes and makes a funny sound it means someone has just come through... You can even check the local channel and you may even notice that there is one extra person in local ...Be ready to act!
Using this technique will rarely bag a covert-ops, occasionally you may get a Force Recon but it will get a cloaky BS 9 times out of 10.
If you are set on camping lo-sec gates be prepared for the possibilty that the target will do pretty much anything to escape your clutches. They may even be as low as to fit WCS, curse their blighted souls!
If all else fails... You could always ask them politely to stay still and turn off their tank/cloak while you shoot them.
I regularly fly a Crane fitted specifically to run gate camps in low sec. And 99% of the time, I get through. Not because I am uber, or that the ship is uber, or that the techniques to catch me are so hard...
it's because most gate campers in low sec are not attentive enough, and not flying the right fit for their little gang of campers.
I have been easily popped by comptetent low sec gate camps - but they are few and far between. Each time I've been popped, I convo in game that they were highly skilled - and I salute their competency. It's actually refreshing to see competency.

Attentive enough in that the pirates are on the gate before the ship jumps. CHECK
Flying the right fits. HIC, 2300 scan res LAchesis, Huggin, remote reps, battlship support. CHECK
SKUNK
No HICs involved - this was before the infinipoint thing.
Several fast intys to decloak me and then keep me locked so I couldn't recloak. Then the scram, the web from larger ships...
The rest was just a few bs and bc blowing me up within seconds. It doesn't take a lot of ships - just good coordination and a team of the right ships.

Some people are really clueless.
This trick has been around a while, but fortunatly, it is not well known, until now. Why did this thread have to be made 
These threads have been popping up more and more regulaly over the past couple of months. Another two of them posted this week.
If its a borked game mechanic (which most people say it is) then its a borked game mechanic whetehr 100 people are doing it or 10000. I enocurage everyone to use it.
It costs you 1 million isk
It only takes 1 or 2 slots from a full combat fit BS.
Its 99% effective
It enables you to travel unscouted thoguh low sec at will.
It will allow one of the slowest and bulkiest ships in the game to warp like an interceptor and confound a gate camp of 10 ships.
The more this is abused, the quicker CCP will have to look at it and implement one of a couple of very easy fixes.
SKUNK
It's only 99% effective in a Crane, and only then against idiots.
If the gate camp is competent, they will catch me all the time.
And I'm flying a modded blockade runner...

Smartbombs wont decloak a ship which uses a cloaking device.
Dont know what happens if your still cloaked from the gate.
I'm sure the wreck of a smartbombed ship would be decloaked.
