Comment (by dd32):

 It looks like this is some 'buggy' WordPress Core behaviour.

 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-includes/class-
 wp.php?rev=48121&marks=716,718,722,728#L698

 These requests are all to sites with a page set as the front page, and
 WordPress doesn't hard-404 for matching a matching archive (Even if it has
 no posts).
 In these cases, WordPress is treating the page as a homepage archive (ie.
 posts on front) where it should be treating it as a 404 (page on front is
 not an archive).

 I haven't gone digging for a core ticket for this yet
