Trying to access the Library folder from a Time Machine sparsebundle, despite having used:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool YES
killall Finder

to show all files & folders, the Library folder was greyed-out and wouldn't open. Turns out in Mountain Lion this is normal behaviour and you have to right-click it and select Open from there.

Just in case it saves anyone else banging their head against a wall. :)
