If you are not receiving the Tracking beacon sent! message then it could be one of the following:

• A problem with Cookie settings in your browser (however unlikely in your case)
• An issue with your proxy/firewall (can you check fiddler or your Network tab and see if any of your resources were 404'd?)
• A javascript error (anything else at all in your console?)

Hope this helps you debug your situation. I'll update this answer if you provide any more information.

UPDATE

It may help to make sure that the issue is with the Chrome Analytics debugger plugin versus your analytics setup. To do this, open something like Fiddler or in Chrome under Resources - Frames - (page) - Images. You should see the request for __utm.gif there. If you do not, its an issue with your Analytics setup. If you do, its just an issue with the Chrome Analytics debugger.

To answer your question though, I've only seen something similar happen one other time and that was on a site with Google Ads. I received an Unsafe Javascript attempt to access frame with URL... error.
