Oh I see. That is indeed annoying. So I guess this bit from the desktop announcement is a stretch: "....all incoming and outgoing messages are displayed consistently on all your devices." I mean I guess if you ONLY have one phone and a desktop that would be true? And I guess if Signal only allows you to register those two things, it is TECHNICALLY true, in the sense that "all" <= 2

And all = Android + Chrome (at least for now).

Since I'm not an Android user, I'm unable to confirm all > 2 scenarios. Someone should try and report back.

I have Signal on Chrome on multiple computers. It works just as expected with messages shared across Chrome and to the phone.

It's all very fast and working quite well.
