To add to Blaine's answer (as I can't yet comment):

I believe this is an Apache configuration issue, not specific to Chrome.

I recently experienced this issue, and noted the following effects in various clients, again only with the home page:

• Chrome, as stated, displayed the ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING error, but also didn't display the page correctly. The page continued to "load" for another 5 seconds even after all the content was visible.
• A simple CURL request outputted the error curl: (18) transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining. The full HTML appeared, followed by the error after a delay.
• Firefox and IE initially displayed the page incorrectly, as with Chrome, and again had the ~5 second additional loading time. However, after this period, the page suddenly reformatted itself correctly. No errors were seen in the respective developer consoles.

The solution to set the DirectoryIndex to the same location as FallbackResource resolved this for all clients.

Edit: An alternative if using mod_rewrite is to use something like RewriteRule ^$ index.php which will avoid affecting all subdirectories.

I don't know whether this is expected behaviour of Apache or a bug.
