Tested this issue on Windows 10 on the latest Canary 65.0.3321.0 and Stable 63.0.3239.132 and unable to reproduce this issue by following the below steps.

1. Launched Chrome and Navigated to a website eg. www.facebook.com
2. Clicked on Wrench Menu -> more tools -> Add to Desktop and added www.facebook.com to Desktop.
3. On Desktop, Double clicked on the desktop shortcut and facebook login page is opened.
Attached is the screen cast for reference.

Thank you for checking on my issue.

I have found out that the desktop shortcut does work for http://www.facebook.com/. However, it does not work for https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/ , and most likely on other urls that does not start with www. Many of my desktop shortcuts do not start with www.

I have turned off all extensions and changed all the flags to default and the issue still persists.
