Google Chrome - has popstate trigggering on initial page load changed in v34?

Question

In version 34 of Chrome (Mac) has pop-state behavior changed on page load? A site that was working, now no-longer does. Preliminary analysis shows that the popstate event is now not firing on page-load - is this correct?

Answer 1

Yes it has.

Unfortunately for me that means I now have to implement a fix given that Safari and Chrome now have different behavior.
