Using the file input on a popup is buggy on some systems with chrome. See http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=61632

If you're using a popup and need a file input, the workaround im using is:

chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
  chrome.tabs.create({'url': chrome.extension.getURL('init.html')});
});
