Ok,

Here are the detailed steps to reproduce the bug.

1 - open a new window/tab
2 - enter this URL : http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-extensions/browse_thread/thread/2f56dc162846c27b#
3 - wait until the page is fully loaded
4 - open the web developer javascript console (ctrl-shift-j on chrome, ctrl-option-i on safari)
5 - type into the input console : document.replaceChild(document.documentElement.cloneNode(true), document.documentElement); 
6 - press enter
7 - the page becomes blank

Expected result : the page should not become blank. It should remain intact since this script replace document.documentElement by its clone.
