This is unhelpful, but maybe better than nothing: I tried using
LoadAlternateHTMLString once and also ran into problems.  I believe
it's intended for alternative HTML for the current URL of the page --
aka the "error" pages.

Elsewhere in Chrome we just hook up fake network providers and
navigate webkit to magic urls like "chrome://newtab/".  You can read
the code for those to see how they work.
