Idle thought: can you build Google Chrome's `chrome` binary from Chromium source code, verbatim? Is this documented anywhere? If not, isn't this an LGPL violation, since it embeds Blink which is LGPL-licensed?

What you are suggesting would stop the whole point of LGPL which is so it can be used in proprietary applications as a library and keep the library under it's own licence. Any change to library needs to be open, but not changes to the application using it.
You're missing the finer points of the LGPL (see my other reply). You do *not* need to open up your proprietary code but you *do* need to have a separable boundary between it and the LGPL code.

Chrome does *not* have such a separable boundary within its main binary, therefore the conclusion is that the only other way it can comply with the license is by having that binary be 100% open source.
