Perhaps not, unless there is a security vulnerability in the web-view. I think it shows that there's a problem with the usage, and implementation of web-view and it's permissions.
I can see why Google wouldn't want to apply the permissions and parental contracts from the browser to the web-view, that would break a bunch of stuff and it would be hard to explain to the user that a link in the Contacts app doesn't work, because Chrome is locked down. Others would argue that is exactly what they expect to happen.
In this case I fail to see why Contacts embeds its own webview, rather than just triggering the browser to open the link. Not every app needs a web-view.
