Good question, just did some fiddling around. Current best theory (this is on Android Chrome):
Scroll the page downward so that the top bar appears.
Tap a link, but drag away from it, so the tooltip appears but the link doesn’t activate. (Or otherwise do something that makes a tooltip appear, I think.)
Scroll the page upward so that the top bar disappears.
Tap to close the tooltip.
If this doesn’t reproduce the problem 100% of the time, it seems very close. I definitely have the intuition that it’s related to link clicks; I also note that it always seems to happen to me on Zvi’s posts, in case there’s something special about his links (but probably it’s just the sheer volume of them.)

This seems great, thank you!
