Found this on my older Android (2.2) phone, but @lloyd was not able to duplicate it.

Use stock browser, but do not have it (or any other browser) set as default.
Open dev.myfavoritebeer.org
Click on Sign In
In the new sign_in page/tab, click either Privacy or TOS link
You should get a third page/tab with the placeholder information in it
Instead, not only do I not get the Privacy/TOS page, my sign_in page/tab closes leaving me with the original dev.myfavoritebeer.org

I was able to duplicate this consistently.

If, on the other hand, I use the stock browser as my default browser AND I have all pages defaulting to stock browser, then the above steps work as expected and I get 3 pages/tabs opened.
