Exactly.
It's pretty clear that this is an attempt to keep the profiles compatible between the two, but it's probably an untested combination of rarely used features.
Chromium + Linux + Using (specific?) Chrome Apps + Installing version of Chrome after Chromium = not many people have done this.
It seems to me "just a bug", and probably easily worked around (as I posted below) by using multiple profiles.

Annoying though I guess.
