After clearing data, we should display a toast. Did you wait to see the toast? If not, let's retest and make sure the the data has finished being cleared.

The private data is cleared and the toast notification that says that the private data was cleared appeared long before the page was reloaded.

During triage we talked about this situation might just be "the way the web works". You logged into gmail, which sets a cookie, then cleared cookies. If gmail expects that cookie to exist, since it's logged in, but now it's gone, gmail might show an error or warning.

What happens on desktop?

On desktop I see the same behaviour.

This was deemed invalid twice through two triages now.
