history.push() hard reloads the page in Google Chrome browser for iOS

[calvinl]

This is an odd issue I've come across, and I've been able to reproduce it in the following JSBin example: http://output.jsbin.com/famukebaya

• Open the link above in Chrome for iOS.
• Tap on the Test links. They will redirect to an unknown page.
• Then, tap the 3-dot button on the top right of the browser menu, and select "Request Desktop Site"
• Try tapping on the test links again. This should now rewrite the URL in the browser properly.

Why does this happen? I can't tell if this is an issue with history or with the Chrome browser. This doesn't happen in Mobile Safari. This also doesn't happen on a desktop version of Chrome.

Anyway, also wanted to give a big thank you to the maintainers for a great library! Please let me know if this is an issue worth exploring further or if I'm doing something wrong.
