I don't think chimeras have anything to do with doubling chromosomes. As I understand it, a chimera has part of the body developing from one sperm/egg combination, and another part from a different sperm/egg combination. There are no cells which contain material from both combinations.
The Wikipedia article explains it well - at an early stage of development, the two zygotes fuse, and each goes on to provide different organs in the baby.

I just stopped in to read your question and realized, it is an area I have not studied, but the main reason I'm writing here is to tell you your question was an attention grabber from my intended search of questions. I really must do something about this or I may not reach my destination in time. thanks!
