after some investigation, this is caused by addition of bmb=1 to the URL in 
window.location.hash += parameter;.

This adds #/bmb=1  to the URL which causes a page swipe.

As a workaround, I use the HTML5 history object to adjust the URL without a 
page refresh, and without using the hash tag.  This seems to work for me.  See 
below for code:

var parameter = 'bmb=1';

bubble.hasHashParameter = function () {
  return window.location.search.indexOf(parameter) != -1;
};

bubble.setHashParameter = function () {
  if (!this.hasHashParameter()) {
    if (window.location.search.indexOf('?') == -1) {
      window.history.replaceState('Object', 'Title', window.location + '?' + parameter);
    } else {
      window.history.replaceState('Object', 'Title', window.location + '&' + parameter);
    }
  }
};
