Yellow screen of death only working in IE

I have inherited a large application and whenever an exception occurs I get a screen of gibberish in Chrome:

enter image description here

However in IE it shows the yellow screen of death as expected:

enter image description here

I can't figure out why this would even happen. Could it be an encoding problem?

Edit - Here are the request and response headers:

Try debugging this case with the Chrome Developer Tools (menu Tools -> Developer Tools). Switch to the Network tab and reload the page. Now click on the file name in the left column and check Headers -> Response Headers -> content-type for the value text/html as well as content-encoding for gzip. Maybe the response is compressed but this is not correctly declared in the http headers.

Also look into the Response tab. Is the content there a readable html document?
