Hangouts button doesn't work in Android

- How does the product behavior differ from your expectations?

The new Hangouts button is supposed to work in any website or app, but it 
doesn't really work in Android.
It launches the app, but it will ignore any invites and create an empty chat.

- What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a hangouts button using the code supplied by Google:

<body>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js"></script>
    <g:hangout render="createhangout"
        invites="[{ id : 'foo@example.com', invite_type : 'EMAIL' }]">
    </g:hangout>
</body>

2. Use a browser in Android, for example Chrome, and click the recently created 
button to launch Hangouts.
3. An empty/null chat rooms pops up (nobody is invited).

- What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output would be a chat room or video chat with the persons you've 
invited (it does works in desktop browsers).
Instead, an empty room is created. If you try sending a chat message, you'll 
get a NullPointerException as you aren't really talking to anybody. 
Additionally, if you try starting a video chat, it will say that it has 
finished even before it has begun.
