Hmm, yes, we're aware of this problem, but the Windows folks said they had put in an explicit exception for this while they worked on tracking down why it was being triggered at all. Internal folks can see prior discussion here: https://groups.google.com/a/google.com/d/msg/chrome-infra/GD3YcJY7HB4/UZ-cY27MBwAJ

+willharris any update?
