${user_name} variable causes crash when used in UserDataDir path.

Reported by ianedwa...@varndean.co.uk, Mar 15 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start Chrome
2. Crash

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome Starts and the users data is stored in a custom area on the local C drive (C:\ChromeData\${user_name}) as per the Group Policy setting.
This worked in previous versions.

What went wrong?
Chrome Crashes on Startup. No logs created only an exception error is displayed: 0xc0000005

Crashed report ID: No

How much crashed? Whole browser

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes 56.0.2924.87

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.98  Channel: stable
OS Version: 7
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 25.0 r0

To get Chrome to start without crashing I removed the ${user_name} variable from UserDataDir registry value:

"C:\ChromeData\${user_name}"
to
"C:\ChromeData"
