Did you ever find a solution to this? I am getting a similar issue when adding a specific module to a page — Chris, Jun 24 '20 at 17:56
I figured out that my custom module *.dnn file was not correct. — Chris, Jun 24 '20 at 18:43

The root cause of this issue is because "PortalAliasId" column in "TabUrls" table consists of value "1", by default this should be NULL instead.
