I believe 'last chain' means the chain that called the one containing the 'goto'. In programming, 'goto' differs from 'gosub'. Here, 'goto' has the same connotations in that it skips the 'calling conventions' so that returning from the called chain without a verdict is the same as returning from the calling chain without a verdict.
