Steps to reproduce:

Entering a private network address in the address bar sends the user to google.com, with dialogue message "Did you mean to go to <ip address>" with options "Yes take me to <ip address>" and "No thanks". 

Is this intentional, or did we break something? Could be a UX headache.

What's the form of the IP? Could you post a fake IP with the same result?
based on the symptoms I'm pretty sure that this is a dupe of bug 1067168
