Classification:Bug Reproducible:true
 
With UIKit version shipped with Xcode 12.0 (12A7209), calling `UINavigationController.popToViewController(vc, animated: true)` results in the `viewControllers` property containing unexpected controllers. Specifically, if the starting stack has controller

[a, b, c, d]

`.popToController(b, animated: true)` would result in the incorrect controller stack after the animation.

Expected result:

`.viewControllers` property contains [a, b]

Actual result:

`.viewControllers` property contains [d, a, b]

It’s weird. This problem was discovered and discussed here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/656524

In that thread it’s supposed to have been reported as FB8626373 as well. Consider this report a duplicate if that’s the case.
