When configured with bridge.vite.legacy=true client scripts crash if the page has img tags with /static/ sources

Environment

• Operating System: Darwin
• Node Version: v18.20.4
• Nuxt Version: 2.17.3
• CLI Version: 3.14.0
• Nitro Version: 2.9.7
• Package Manager: npm@10.7.0
• Builder: webpack
• User Config: -
• Runtime Modules: -
• Build Modules: -

Reproduction

Set up Nuxt2 default project, and migrate into @nuxt/bridge
https://nuxt.com/docs/bridge/overview

Configure as follows

import { defineNuxtConfig } from '@nuxt/bridge'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  bridge: {
    typescript: true,
    nitro: true,
    meta: false,
    vite: {
      legacy: false,
    },
  }
})

Place an image in /static/logo-green-white.png

And page component file:

<template>
  <div>
    <img src="/logo-green-white.png" alt="">
    <span v-if="isLoadingDone">done</span>
    <span v-else>not done</span>
  </div>
</template>

<script lang="ts">
import Vue from 'vue'

export default Vue.extend({
  name: 'IndexPage',
  data() {
    return {
      isLoadingDone: false
    };
  },
  mounted() {
    setTimeout(() => {
      this.isLoadingDone = true
    }, 5000)
  },
})
</script>

Production build and run
npm run build && npm run start

Describe the bug

Output to console.log

TypeError: globalThis.__publicAssetsURL is not a function
    at index-DVkd1gRf.js:1:190

And the execution of the script on that page will be stopped. The display should change to done after 5 seconds, but it does not.

Additional context

No response

Logs

TypeError: globalThis.__publicAssetsURL is not a function
    at index-DVkd1gRf.js:1:190

Start with the bridge configuration in nuxt.config.ts and the reproduction page in index.vue, then run npm run build && npm run start. Verify the generated client script no longer throws the __publicAssetsURL error and that the page changes from “not done” to “done” after five seconds.
