Double-clicking the latest version of Google's Chrome .deb file (x64) results in Software Center (eventually) loading and displaying the following:

Internal Error
The file "/home/.../google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb" could not be opened.

The expected result was that the deb file would open and the option to install would be shown.
