Shopify theme dev server redirects to /accounts/top_bounce on navigation

Short description of issue

Shopify theme dev server intermittently redirects storefront navigation to /accounts/top_bounce, which returns a 404 in my theme.

Reproduction steps

  1. Start the Shopify theme development server.
  2. Open the local/dev storefront preview.
  3. Click around the storefront using normal navigation links, for example header menu links, product links, collection links, or other internal storefront links.
  4. Continue navigating between pages for a short time.

Additional info

When clicking links in the dev storefront, roughly every other navigation redirects to:

/accounts/top_bounce

That route shows a 404 error in my theme.

The behavior is intermittent: about half the time the navigation works correctly and goes to the intended page, and about half the time it redirects to /accounts/top_bounce instead. This makes the dev server difficult to use because normal theme preview navigation is unreliable.
