Domino XPages Partial Refresh Problem since Domino 9.0.1 FP8

After upgrading from Domino 9.0.1 FP7 to FP8 and later FP9, it seems Domino XPages Partial Refresh fail to work correctly using IE through WebSeal. It was fine all these while on Domino 9.0.1 FP7 and earlier.

Problem does not appears if accessing the web application directly without going through WebSeal. Besides that, it also appears good using Chrome passing through WebSeal.

Checked IE console / debug log and this error is shown:

SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property 'match' of undefined or null reference                     
File: xspClientDojo.js, Line: 5, Column: 45925                          

Workaround:
1. Setup server as Domino 9.0.1 FP7, verified there is no problem.
2. Copy D:\Domino\osgi\shared\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.xsp.dojo_9.0.1.20160811-1000 folder to another location.
3. Upgrade Domino to 9.0.1 FP9, verified problem appears.
4. Delete D:\Domino\osgi\shared\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.xsp.dojo_9.0.1.20170803-1411 folder
5. Copy the backed up com.ibm.xsp.dojo_9.0.1.20160811-1000 folder to D:\Domino\osgi\shared\eclipse\plugins\
6. Verified problem no longer appears.
                                                                        
Conclusion:
com.ibm.xsp.dojo_9.0.1.20160811-1000 is working fine but the updated dojo folder is causing this problem.

There are some changes in xspClientDojo.js starting from Domino 9.0.1 FP8 which causes this problem.

Solution:
You may use the workaround above or request a custom hotfix from IBM. This fix is not available in any of the public released FP8 or FP9 Interim Fix or Feature Pack. I am not sure if this is fixed in FP10.

This issue is tracked in SPR #SRKMAS2J84.
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg1LO93190

IBM Support has built a custom hotfix 901FP9HF212 created on top of 901FP9 IF2 + SRKMAS2J84 plus the following fixes which appears to fix the problem in my test server:
