Not allowed to navigate top frame to data URL - even though I'm navigating to a _blank frame.

Reported by huffy7...@gmail.com, Jul 14 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version       :	Chrome 60.0.3112.50 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) (cohort: Beta)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Create anchor link which has href set to a data uri, and the target set to _blank

What is the expected result?
data uri should open in new tab

What happens instead?
The link does not open, and the following error is sent to the console.

It works as I expect in Chrome 59.0.3071.115 (Official Build) (64-bit)

One is able to right click the link and go "open in new tab" - but they aren't able to middle click it to do so.

Here is a file that reproduces the issue. The ticket this has been linked to seems like the implementation of this problem - I'm concerned that this being closed as a duplicate means that the feature will live with the bug being ignored...
