Chrome takes long or doesn't fetch large icon

Project Member Reported by mastiz@chromium.org, Dec 9 2016

Issue description

Steps to reproduce:
(1) Sign out of Chrome on Android (Nexus 6P used, M54)
(2) Close all tabs.
(3) Clear all local cache.
(4) Open a New Tab Page.
(5) Type youtube.com on the omnibox, and wait ~5 minutes (history backend takes a while).
(6) Open a New Tab Page.

What is the expected result?
Youtube should be displayed in the NTP tiles, with an appropriate real icon (youtube's).

What happens instead?
A fallback gray icon is displayed, as if no favicon was fetched. The tab switcher however displays a favicon.

I can reproduce the issue on a Android tablet (Nexus 9) but not on iOS (iPad).

I couldn't reproduce the same behavior with facebook.com.

(5) Open any desktop page that redirects to a mobile page permanently [1]. 
    --> www.youtube.com exposes this issue, m.youtube.com does not.


[1] Nice to see for www.pcwelt.de which asks you to redirect to their mobile page: 
If the redirection is allowed (permanently), the icon will be a fallback.
If the redirection is cancelled, the icon will will be their favicon.

Redirects being the culprit would be consistent with the diverging behavior on iOS (which treats redirects differently).

Applying zine-maintenance label so new owners can triage and pick it up.
