Integrated Windows Auth (NTLM) on a Mac using Google Chrome or Safari
This isn't a bug at the moment. The Mac version of Chrome simply does not support/respect Kerberos policies ("Negotiate" Windows Authentication) unless the domain white-listed and the browser fired from the command line. See this link posted 10/31/2011:

It looks like you might be able to permanently white-list a domain though:

Since you have already tried the white-list switch, I looked closer and it is an OSX thing... 10.7 is necessary for the switch to work properly with Chrome. Your 10.6 version won't work without a third party tool like Centrify.
Not a happy answer, but the truth.
It seems we can do the following configuration in Terminal,
$ defaults write com.google.Chrome AuthServerWhitelist "*.example.com"$ defaults write com.google.Chrome AuthNegotiateDelegateWhitelist "*.example.com"$ defaults write com.google.Chrome AuthSchemes "digest,ntlm,negotiate"
defaults write com.google.Chrome AuthServerWhitelist '<your domain>' will permanently allow kerberos to a server or set of servers (*.mydomain.local).
