Reference Error: Cannot access 'component' before initialization #15287

Describe the bug

Been getting this error when traversing to a new page with the latest (2.50.2) release. Does not happen on 2.50.1 or earlier.

These may be red herrings: but I've only seen it happen (although pretty reliably) with Safari 26 (after a cache clear) and when navigating to a larger / more complex page. Only happens the first time visiting the page and doesn't seem to happen when you hover long enough over the link to preload everything. Since this looks to be some kind of race condition, it may be effecting other browsers but the race is just more difficult to produce.

Reproduction

I'll try to produce a smaller example.

Logs

From the safari console:
Unhandled Promise Rejection: ReferenceError: Cannot access 'component' before initialization. client.is:663
