Electron Version

Last Known Working Electron version

Expected Behavior
Providing an asynchronous handler to a window's webContents.session.webRequest.onBeforeRequest method should not result in a crash, regardless of the website being navigated to.
Actual Behavior
If there is any asynchrony in the onBeforeRequest handler (even just a setTimeout(0) delay), attempting to navigate to or within the website "https://yahoo.com" results in Chromium crashing with the fatal error "Detected dangling raw_ptr in unretained with id=0x########". Try-catch blocks are not sufficient to keep this error from tearing down the entire application.
So far, this issue seems to be specific to https://yahoo.com, but I'm not convinced there aren't other sites out there that would also manifest the same issue.
Testcase Gist URL

Additional Information
Using the test Gist, once Yahoo has loaded, click the main "yahoo!" button to renavigate to that page again. Within anywhere from 1 to 5 clicks, the entire app will crash and the console will display information about the dangling raw_prt error.
