Description
Describe the bug
Starting from 2.61.0 remote functions don't always re-run on page change which results in stale/cached data.
In reproduction repo there is cars page with a single remote function. When page is changed, sometimes this remote function re-runs, sometimes it doesn't.

This behavior is inconsistent, sometimes it doesn't re-fetch data, sometimes it does (at 29s of video)
