Has STR: --- → yes

This is because when refreshing a SERP, the browser will load the current URI, which can be different due to redirects and History pushes. And so, the currentURI will change, from something generated by a SearchEngine to possibly a completely different URI. I suppose one way around this is if we know that the trigger is from a refresh, don't update the originalURI.
