It's interesting that Chrome 57 is broken. I found a note on the Chromium project that Chrome 51+ should display punycode (rather than the IDN characters) if latin is mixed with either cyrillic or greek (or cyrillic and greek are mixed). Apparently this isn't actually happening (never actually implemented? bug?).
It's also rather disappointing that Chrome has no way to turn off the display of non-english characters in URLs (it's not a fix but it would be far safer for me since I very rarely go to any sites with non-english URLs).
