Describe the bug

This simple example as seen in #14269 still does not work and nuxt instance unavailable is thrown on the server.

<script setup>
definePageMeta({
  middleware: defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(async () => {
    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 200)); // having await in
    return navigateTo('/auth');
  }),
});
</script>

This should be resolved in the edge channel, or in the next release.

Let me know if not and I'll reopen.
