Surely it must be possible to actually view these sites, as evidenced by the fact that people keep building them. Is there some web-designer-and-executive-approver-specific build of Chrome that's built specifically for this effect?

Enough.
Middle click, then drag mouse down a little bit, then sit and watch.
[EDIT] Tested in FF and Chrome, surprisingly FF was smoother on my computer.
Somebody else mentioned that it's on by default on Macs, thus confirming my theory about the "web-designer-only" build of Chrome (the same one that renders those extra blurry fonts that designers like to use on their blogs correctly). Chances are nobody with a Windows box ever saw this in action before they pushed it live.
The slight choppiness i see is because of how scroll works not the website's fault.
When you scroll there's a minimum increment that gets detected and the equivalent on the website for that is quite large. But reducing that would make you scroll a lot more and would probably be annoying.
If you want the smoothness of a magic mouse use the down arrow on the scroll bar or your keyboard.
Scrolling gives you no visual feedback for "content units" like margins around paragraphs or headers. You cannot be sure if a "frame" has all its animation loaded until you scroll down - up - down a little bit. Imho that's not a pleasant experience.
It would be nice if they supported the keyboard too though.
