Comment:

 Thanks for the report, @alisterscott!

 This  is caused by Instagram.

 Their
 [https://api.instagram.com/oembed/?url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BlMg3iolq9e/
 oEmbed response] has added `?utm_source=ig_embed` to the URL, which the
 JavaScript they use to generate the `iframe` doesn't allow for, hence
 `embed/` appearing after that URL parameter in the `iframe` `src`, rather
 than before. Until they remove the URL param, or update their JS to allow
 for it, Instagram embeds are going to be broken.

 Unfortunately, there's not a lot we can do about this, Instagram have
 broken embeds for everyone, not just WordPress:
