Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with the listed GitHub URLs, both by adding the https://gitpod.io/# prefix and through the Chrome extension. Trace the URL handling used during workspace startup; done means valid GitHub URLs containing multiple slashes start a workspace successfully without the error page.
