Thanks for filing this issue!

The error I get in the console while reproducing this is:

Security Error: Content at moz-nullprincipal:{970469d9-d69a-46d9-a36a-ddd0ada9e276} may not load or link to about:home.

So I believe this bug is due to the swap/tunnel code. We're currently working toward building a new version of RDM where it does not rely on this mechanism. When that project is finished, this issue should also go away. I'll add this issue as another blocker to the rdm-tunnel meta bug.
