Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Fedora): Bug 1699109

Just a couple of times, the openQA FreeIPA web UI test has failed due to the
web UI falling over showing a 'whoami.data is undefined' error:
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/373613
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/380970
This is a pretty rare failure - those are the only two instances I've found
over hundreds of runs of the test.
This happens when logging into the UI as the 'admin' user: after the test
enters the password, a 'Loading data' notification appears very briefly and
then this error is shown.
I'll attach a screenshot of the error (in case the tests get garbage collected
from openQA), and log tarballs from both client and server ends.
