"Open New Tab"-spawned Tabs Ought Inherit-Then-Copy "Back" Button Contents (In Order)

Reported by chrishota@gmail.com, Mar 31 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3044.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. After a browser session wherein tab history has approximately one dozen items, navigate to a webpage with a link to another webpage.
2. Secondary-click the link on the webpage, and choose "Open Link in New Tab," spawning a new tab directed toward the linked URL.
3. Select the new tab (if not already selected); this will begin loading the content of the linked page.

What is the expected behavior?
The newly-spawned tab will have a copy of the linking page's "back button" history, seen when clicking-and-holding the back button. This ought be a copy of the history, and maintained separately, per-tab.

What went wrong?
The newly-spawned tab features a grayed-out back button, though it does begin to maintain a separate, per-tab history.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 59.0.3044.0  Channel: n/a
