As someone who works on Chrome at google and know people working on fixing it.... it really is kinda a perfect storm bug but you obviously don't have to believe me.

I could be convinced, but given Google's behavior they've lost the presumption of good faith, and the bar of evidence required to convince me that this is an accident is much higher than it would be normally.

Best context I can give is the actual CL for the fix.

That doesn't explain how the original change made it through testing without the bug being flagged.

Test clearing all private data -> not all private data cleared.
