content from incognito window displayed momentarily in tab of normal window

Reported by drom...@intellisurvey.com, Sep 12

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open up different tabs to different websites in a normal window.
2. Close the normal window, thus exiting chrome.
3. Start chrome, restoring the previous session.
4. Open an incognito window, and go to a site.
5. Go to the normal window, and click on tabs that were restored, but not yet viewed.
6. There's a momentary flash of the incognito window contents visible in the normal tab.

What is the expected behavior?
No flashing of incognito contents; if anything, just a white canvas.

What went wrong?
Incognito window contents were visible in a normal tab. See the attached 1-second video.

Did this work before? Yes At least a few versions ago, but can't recall with precision. I've noticed it the past few (3) months.

Chrome version: 68.0.3440.106  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.13.6

What is that video meant to show? One second isn't anywhere near enough time to see something happening. That video literally just shows a random page (I guess the URL doesn't match the page but how would I know?), and you don't even go to incognito mode.

I'm not a Chromium dev but I'm just warning you the video doesn't add any useful information.
One second is enough to see it happening actually: the last image of the video (at the end) is the contents of the incognito window. I guess you wanted me to show that it was indeed the incognito window; fair enough. I've attached a new video where I switch to the incognito window and the flashing of the incognito text can be seen in the normal window tab switching multiple times.

Can you reproduce this in latest Canary?
I haven't downloaded Canary. I might be able to test this out later this week by downloading and using Canary, but since Canary's a nightly build and might be unstable I don't want to do that during my day job (which is hopefully understandable).
