gatsby: Navigating from 404 page errors on production deployment

When a user attempts to navigate from the 404 page on a production build, the console shows this error and the page never redirects:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'push' of undefined
    at eventHandler (production-app.js:51)
    at mitt.js:1
    at Array.map (<anonymous>)
    at Object.emit (mitt.js:1)
    at done (loader.js:284)

    at loader.js:95
    at loader.js:78
    at index.js?d7c6:11
    at handler (patch.js:18)

or, if content for the desired destination is already loaded:
