If Chrome is already open, `google-chrome $URL` at a shell opens an extra blank window

Project Member Reported by alerante@google.com, Aug 31 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 60.0.3112.113
OS Version           : Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

What steps will reproduce the problem?
With Chrome already running, run `google-chrome $URL` at a shell.

What is the expected result?
$URL opens in a new tab or window, according to preference.

What happens instead of that?
The expected behavior occurs, but then after that, an extra blank window opens.

This affects opening pages through `x-www-browser` as well, which means every link opened in another program spawns an extra window.
