I played around with it this afternoon and I got it to build. The score on html5test has it right on par with my desktop chrome for the most part. That being said, there's a lot of problems with it, such as the footprint. It currently weighs in at 16 MB. It'd be cool if we could use it as a library with the uses-library in the Android manifest, but I think we're still stuck with the stock browser if we want things to just work.
So, while it may make for a cool tech demo, using Chrome for Cordova is a long ways off. It's nice to have something that compiles though, even with a minor tweak!
