This is one of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen, I think.
One of the tags on this question is "javascript" but on the SO homepage, it shows up as "javas." If you click on it, that even takes you to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/javas (which has zero questions).
In the time it took me to write this up, the error seems to have been fixed (and that question closed) but I took a screenshot before that happened. It's the fourth question from the top.

The snapshot cache of the front page was made before any subsequent edits during the five minute grace period.
As such, when they went to fix up the tag, it looked okay on the question page itself, but not on the home page, which is lagging because it's cached.
