"Location Changing Exception" with XPiNC view link in FP8

Starting with 9.0.1 FP8, I've been having the following problem with XPiNC:

Open an XPage in the Notes client that has links to other XPages (a view control with links to documents in the view, for example).
Click a link to open another XPage in a new tab.
If the XPage in the new tab has links to other XPages (via view control, etc.), the links on page 2 don't work. You click and nothing happens.

In the trace log I get this error when I click the link:

SEVERE Location changing exception ::class.method=com.ibm.rcp.dombrowser.browser.MozillaEmbeddingSite.OnStartURIOpen() ::thread=main ::loggername=com.ibm.rcp.dombrowser.browser

Everything works fine on 9.0.1 FP6 (I don't have an FP7 client handy but I'm pretty sure everything worked fine there), but FP8 is giving me problems. Also FP8 IF1.

The error is easy enough to reproduce if you create a database with a few blank documents, and have the form open an XPage that contains a view control with links to open the other documents in new tabs. When you open the first document/XPage the links work fine, but if you open a second XPage from the first one the links won't work.

Help please. :)

hmmm

I've not looks at XPiNC in forever.

I suggest you post this on StackOverFlow first. There will be more eyes on it there. Then if you have not already I suggest you join the XPages Slack chat and post a link to the SO question in there. That will get you maximum visibility at least.
