This report is also backed by a source close to Google stating that the company is still on track to launch its Chrome OS by the end of the year, as well as its Chrome app store."

I'm not sure Chrome OS will be a big success, but I think Google would have taken such connectivity issues into consideration.

I'm not sure why they have both Android and Chrome OS -- they seem to intersect and overlap awkwardly.

I'm sure they did take broken network connections into account, Chrome OS would be pretty useless without some sort of local persistence-layer/cache that is synced with their cloud services whenever there is a connection. I still agree with you that Chrome OS won't be a big success. It will appeal to a certain segment of the market but if I had to place bets I'd put a lot more money on Android as a Netbook/Tablet OS than I would on Chrome OS.
