It's probably not a slight against Chrome. These sorts of edge-case error pages are typically some of the least up-to-date for a website. You need to use a browser they don't test with to see it, so naturally they won't see the page during testing.

Alternately, Chrome might be legitimately untested but functionally equivalent enough to Safari that everything works. In that scenario leaving Chrome off the list of supported browsers is just a CYA in case something doesn't work.

i cannot imagine chrome being untested by facebook.
Chrome isn't an incompatible browser, though; it's just not on that list of "recommended browsers" so they still wouldn't see this page.

To get to this page, they'd need to fire up Netscape or a version of IE they don't support or something like that.
