Getting diagnostics for "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression."

It's happened a few times where a junior developer would get the error "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression." when trying to do something and ask me how to solve it. I wouldn't know how to solve it. I'm convinced the problem always got solved by perturbing it away.

Today I am getting it. On loading a page it says "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression."; and my prior guess of threw during .cshtml generation is wrong. I have break when exceptions thrown turned on, and no exceptions throw.

The error is known to be content specific to the point of being specific to the dynamic content on the page, including individual string expansions.

Right now, I can't file a proper issue because despite having a definite reproduction I have zilch-all to go on. I realized I don't know how to gather the necessary; or even what I think is the minimum. What occurs to me to do is to capture the input before compression and check if the compressor is broken but I don't know how to do that either.

And no wonder nothing was making sense. 5 hours later; I got a sort of bisection; it's in the Visual Studio Browser Link.
