Just tried ICS and my application engine, which relies heavily on WebView and runs flawlessly on Gingerbread, seems to suffer from this problem among many others ....
I also get a chrome error: -6 and is definitely related to loading from / android _assets /
In addition, pages opened in an iframe (in android resources), which are iframes, opened by the main page (also in Android assets), apparently cause resolution problems (e.g. iframe can not acess parent) ...
I just with ICS, like 3 hours, can not give more understanding, but I will definitely follow this topic.
