According to mw.loader.inspect(), [[Special:BlankPage]] loads the "ext.cite" ResourceLoader module. This seems to be a global module, but it doesn't need to be loaded on any Special page besides Special:Cite, I imagine.
I'm not sure if this is a bug. And if it is a bug, I'm not sure if it should be filed against the "Cite" MediaWiki extension or against MediaWiki core JavaScript.

According to the source code (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Cite/blob/master/Cite.php#L72), it's added by the extension.

Technically any Special page might have <ref></ref> tags due to local modifications of system messages, so in those cases the RL module would be needed.

In that case the parser hook can call $parserOutput->addModules(). The Cite extension is still using the classic way of adding resources through wgHooks['BeforePageDisplay'] instead of doing it the new way through contextual addModules when it actually needs to.
