Comment(by hp):

 I just debugged this for another xulrunner app and found this bug while
 googling for solutions.

 It was caused by not having something like this in chrome.manifest:
 {{{
   locale branding en-US file:locale/en-US/brand/
 }}}

 This meant that in about.xhtml, where it does:
 {{{
 <!ENTITY % brandDTD SYSTEM "chrome://branding/locale/brand.dtd" >
 %brandDTD;
 <!ENTITY % aboutDTD SYSTEM "chrome://global/locale/about.dtd" >
 %aboutDTD;
 <!ENTITY % globalDTD SYSTEM "chrome://global/locale/global.dtd">
 %globalDTD;
 }}}

 There was an error on the first entity where it uses chrome://branding and
 I guess it gave up and did not move on to importing global.dtd.

 You may have seen in the JS console:
 {{{
 No chrome package registered for chrome://branding/content/about.png
 }}}

 That's the root cause of the problem.
