Incorrect back-navigation on theverge.com when navigating before load stops

Project Member Reported by lizeb@chromium.org, Nov 3 2016

Issue description

Steps:
1. Go to theverge.com (from the NTP, for instance)
2. Click on an article
3. From the article URL, press back

Expected result:
Going back to the verge homepage.

Observed result:
Going back to the NTP.

Setup:
- Nexus 6P, Android N:
  - Chrome Dev 56.0.2906.1, Canary, Stable 54.0.2840.68
- Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, x86_64):
  - Chrome Dev 56.0.2906.0 


May be a content issue, but this is still puzzling.

Same on vox.com, polygon.com.
Probably common to all the Vox media properties.

Seems to work as expected in Firefox 49.0.2, on Linux.

Weird.  I can repro on theverge.com and vox.com, but only if I click through to the article before the spinner stops.  Repros on 56.0.2908.0 (Windows Canary) and 54.0.2840.59 (Windows Stable).

I'm guessing a bisect will show this is due to turning on the new navigation logic in M54, but I'll try to run one to be sure.  I'll find time to take a look.

This goes back years to at least Chrome 21, so it's not a recent regression.  Still worth investigating to see if we can fix it, or if it's a problem on the site.
