[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#606822: chromium-browser: uses insecure site marker even when insecure resources are not loaded

Package: chromium-browser
Version: 9.0.587.0~r66374-1
Severity: minor

I use the Chromium Adblock extension with some additional filters to
block analytics and such.  As a result, when I go to https://lkml.org/,
all the resources that are loaded (as seen with the Resources tab of
Developer Tools) are securely loaded over HTTPS from the lkml.org
domain.

However, the icon in the toolbar still uses the lock with a red X and
has a large red crossout over the "https" part of the URL.  Clicking on
the lock icon, I am told that "this page includes other resources which
are not secure."

There is a problem here.  Chromium is determining that there are
insecure resources despite the fact that these resources are never
loaded.  I specifically checked this using Wireshark, and no HTTP
connections are made (only HTTPS).  Please fix this so users are not
warned unnecessarily.
