Google Chrome's console.log() prints DOM nodes inconsistently

Not a duplicate of Google Chrome console.log() inconsistency with objects and arrays, since this question is not about objects and arrays.


Here is a simple HTML page:

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css.css">
</head>

<body>
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
  <div></div>
  <div></div>

  <script>
    for (const div of document.querySelectorAll("div")) {
      console.log(div);
    }
  </script>
</body>

Sometimes the results are shown as they presumably should:

and sometimes as if I used console.dir() instead of console.log():

Rarely, I get a mix:

When I tried to create the minimal, reproducible example shown above, I removed the <link>, as it didn't seem to be related to the problem. However, after removing it, the inconsistency disappeared, so I restored it and tried to minimize the CSS itself, to the point where css.css is currently completely empty. So somehow the mere presence of the <link> tag seems to be at least related to the problem.

Is there a reason for this behavior, or is it a bug?
