Extensions that do not define browserAction show up in the main toolbar

Reported by amirl...@gmail.com, Mar 2 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Unknown, it only happens in one machine, I'm afraid it happens in more machines.

What is the expected behavior?
Only extension that define browserAction in their manifest need to show buttons, however I can see 3 buttons for extension that didn't, one of which is Google Docs Offline which isn't supposed to have a button.

What went wrong?
I assume a bug, one that isn't related to any extension in specific since it appears to affect unrelated extensions.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 48.0.2564.116  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0

This is the extension toolbar redesign ( issue 403823 ). It is apparently being enabled through server-side field trail today.
The design itself is working as intended, however I am amazed this is being enabled on all channels including Stable at once. It has never been beforehand tested in Dev channel. Perhaps an experimental field trial on a small number of randomly selected users across channels for practical testing.

This is probably the most retarded change in Chrome browser I ever saw.

Why should I even see icons for extensions which don't even have page actions?

Also, instead of one simple click for RSS subscription or enable/disable extension functionality for given page, now I need to go to the Chrome menu and search the desired icon among all other extensions for all sites. Sick!
