Accessibility is broken for google.com in Canary

Reported by laura.ca...@ft.com, Dec 8 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2945.3 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
www.google.com

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. google something 
2. hit tab
3. hit down-arrow

What is the expected behavior?
a blue chevron should appear next to the first search result. Hitting down-arrow again should move focus to the next search result

What went wrong?
pressing down arrow does nothing. Attached a video of the behavior in chrome 54 where it works properly, followed by Canary where it does not

Does it occur on multiple sites: No

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes  54.0.2840.98 (64-bit)

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 57.0.2945.3  Channel: canary
OS Version: OS X 10.12.0

This bug is now reproducible in the stable release of Chrome too, not just Canary anymore, as of version 55. So this vital accessibility feature of google search might as well not exist when using Chrome.

It works in Safari and Firefox and pretty much everywhere else.

Restoring the browser settings fixed it. Prior to doing that, with all extensions and experiments off it was still reproducible, both in canary and stable

From what I understand, after the bug reporter reset their browser settings, the issue is not reproducible any more.
Closing.
