Sorry, I should've linked to the bug report:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=38827

I haven't reproduced this myself.

The reporter claims that their system doesn't know how to open PDFs.

$ xdg-mime query default application/pdf
AdobeReader.desktop

then

"using xdg-open indeed opens the old viewer and not Adobe Reader. I'm
completely
unfamiliar with xdg-open, so I don't know to explain the difference between the
'xdg-mime query default application/pdf' result and 'xdg-open myfile.pdf'"
