to the current page URL. The hex strings

Since the last weeks we see many 404's on our sites caused by Chrome adding /cache/[hex-string]/ to the current page URL.

The hex strings we have seen are:

e9c5ecc3f9d7fa1291240700c8da0728
1d292296547f895c613a210468b705b7
408cfdf76534ee8f14657ac884946ef2
9b0771373b319ba4f132b9447c7060a4
b8cd4270356f296f1c5627aa88d43349

If you search for these strings you get matches from different sites, but they are most likely auto-generated (/search/cache/e9c5ecc3f9d7fa1291240700c8da0728/ for example).

Is this a known issue with Chrome (or an extension)?

: Since rewriting URLs happens on the server side neither users nor search engines are aware of it. Where it gets to be an issue is if it is done improperly and the same content can be accessed

I looks like a bug in a chrome extension:
code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=132059
It is marked as "won't fix" by chrome developers, as it depends on the extension owners.
