If current page is the Following timeline page:

• Home button redirect back to the same page.
• If scroll position is greater than 0, Home button scrolls page to scroll position 0.

If current page is not the Following timeline page:

• Home button redirects to Following timeline page.

Yes, this is by design. Currently, on some Android devices, this is the only way to reload the page while using Instagram in PWA mode. Since Instagram is built with React, this is a compromise between stability and usability—for now. But I appreciate you mentioning it!
