If a page receives “pagehide” with persisted set to true, it correctly assumes that it might be revived at a later date with a pageshow event. These pages do not expect any event dispatch between the pagehide and the pageshow...
This expectation was always wrong: events can be dispatched by script at any time to pages in the page cache.
I didn’t closely follow pagevis when originally discussed (I now wish I had), but is there any motivation for this?
There is some reasonably lengthy discussion about the ordering here in the archives at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-perf/ which you may want to read.
