uBo redirects file:/// urls to http://file-scheme on reload

[iam-py-test]

Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
• This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension.
• uBO uses default lists and settings.
• using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

Whenever you change any of the per-site-switches other than the no-popups one, disable/enable uBo via the power button, or click to block/noop something in the dynamic filtering from the popup, uBo asks to reload the page (this makes sense).
However, if I do that on a local file (file:///), and let uBo reload it, I end up at http://file-scheme/.
Calling the browser's tabs.reload function does not cause this problem, so I assume this is uBo-specific.
Looking into uBo's code, it seems the problem is with uBo setting popupData.pageURL to http://file-scheme/, as that is what is sent in the reloadTab message from the popup:

A specific URL where the issue occurs.

N/A, as it is a local file

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a HTML file and open it in the browser with uBo OR go to any file:/// URL (i.e. file:///C:/ on Windows, maybe file:///bin on GNU/Linux)
2. Change any of the per-site-switches which require a reload
3. Let uBo reload the page
4. Notice that end up on http://file-scheme/

Expected behavior

The page is reloaded

Actual behavior

The user is redirected to http://file-scheme/
The reload button in the logger seems unaffected.

uBlock Origin 1.51.0 (but can reproduce on the latest beta)

1.51.1b14 appears to fix the issue for me.
