Steps to reproduce

I have an error message when clean storage ("DevTools / Application / Storage" tab in Chrome browser) while my Progressive Web App is running. Goto link https://duplo.pilot.teqfw.com/#/hollow/occupy and wait for application will be fully loaded (about 10-15 sec), you should see the message "This hollow is occupied by some squirrel.". Then goto DevTools and clear the site data. The following error should be thrown:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'nextSibling')
    at nextSibling (vue.global.js:9156:33)
    at removeFragment (vue.global.js:7018:22)
    at remove (vue.global.js:6984:15)
    at unmount (vue.global.js:6968:19)
    at unmountComponent (vue.global.js:7040:15)

    at mount (vue.global.js:5371:27)
    at Object.app.mount (vue.global.js:10660:25)

This is a screenshot:

What is expected?

I expect that removeFragment function will correctly handle case where cur attribute will stay undefined or null.

What is actually happening?

I have an error: "Cannot read properties of null (reading 'nextSibling')"

I suppose additional validation can help in this case (https://github.com/flancer64/core/commit/431271c2a3be05080c226a42ccf8b0127b500027):

const removeFragment = (cur: RendererNode, end: RendererNode) => {
    ...
    while ((cur !== end) && cur) {
        ...
    }
    ...
}

I cannot create PR cause it's too complex for me to fix the error by right way. So it is just a bur report.

Thanks for the great framework, guys!
