I was able to easily reproduce the issue on Release, Beta, and Nightly.

  1. Ensured Speedreader was disabled via brave://settings/appearance.
  2. Opened https://brave.com/blog/.
  3. Clicked on the Reader mode icon in the address bar.
  4. Ensured the Reader mode icon disappeared.

Reloading the page brought back the Reader mode icon on all Release, Beta, and Nightly but then encountered the following bug: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/18242.

I will update the report description since this bug is reproducible on all Release, Beta, and Nightly nowadays.
