I know there are other open issues for the infamous Failed to load URL issue, however I'm not 100% sure this is or isn't related as what I'm seeing appears to be specifically related to opening some specific URLs in a new tab vs an existing window. I have a simple test script, using a URL accessible by anyone, provided in this gist.
Example output when running the script in the gist above:
No Tab
