You probably have Google Chrome also installed on the machine. The About box calls out to a COM server hosted by GoogleUpdate. I'm guessing that this code is alive and well in Chromium, and will 'just work' if Google Chrome is installed (so GoogleUpdate is running). It's probably worth disabling that in Chromium builds. It would be even cooler to replace it with something that downloaded the latest update from http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/continuous/LATEST/ (if it's newer than what's running).
