Managed Policies not applied to Chrome

Reported by sh...@votesmart.org, Jun 15 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
https://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick-start
>mkdir /etc/opt/chrome/policies
>mkdir /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed
>mkdir /etc/opt/chrome/policies/recommended
>touch /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/test_policy.json
add the following to test_policy.json
{
  "HomepageLocation": "www.chromium.org"
}
check about:policy and reload
policy appears
Machine
Mandatory
Platform
HomepageLocation
www.chromium.org
OK

Pressing home button takes me to https://www.google.com

I have tried alternate URLs with and without http(s):// with the same result

What is the expected behavior?
change home page location to www.chromium.org

What went wrong?
Have read https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=138377#

{
  "RestoreOnStartup": 4,
  "RestoreOnStartupURLs": ["http://www.chromium.org"]
}

does not work.

Chrome sees the policies but appears to ignore them.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: Google Chrome	51.0.2704.84 (Official Build) (64-bit)  Channel: stable
OS Version: CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)

Please share more information.

What have you chosen in chrome://settings > Appearance > Show Home button : "Use the new tab page" or "Open this page"? And which web address appears when you choose "Show this page"?

Thanks for the response. After digging further I found using the following was required to resolve my issue. Thanks again

{
  "HomepageLocation": "www.chromium.org",
  "HomepageIsNewTabPage": false,
  "RestoreOnStartup": 0
}
