The PackageManager bug was worked around by Google Play, and was fixed in API 18 (JB MR2). As of today, this is only a problem if you distribute or support the unofficial distribution of ABI-specific packages outside of Google Play and you target API 17 or below.
It's also worth noting that Chromium removed their workaround and are shipping a new native library loader purely to optimize for the fact that they are now the system WebView implementation, thus they need to reduce RAM usage when they are loaded by many running processes.
