Using develop.element.io for Element Web causes frames to nest the harness

[jryans]

While polishing up Patience yesterday, I encountered one of the stranger web behaviours I've seen in a while...

The clients are loaded into iframes inside the Patience test harness page. When Element Web tries to adjust the URL for going to a room (location.assign("#/room/!1234:matrix.org")), somehow the browser decides it should use the parent document (the test harness page) as the base URL, and nests a second copy of the test harness inside itself... 🤯

This was not happening a few months ago, so... that's going to be a strange one to sort out. 😵‍💫

It seems to reproduce consistently in Chrome, but only sometimes in Firefox.

It only seems to happen when using https://develop.element.io as the Element Web deployment. If I instead run Element Web locally, it works fine. So far, I've tried comparing HTTP headers and Element Web configs, but nothing seems to cause my local copy to behave like develop in this way.
