I am not sure if I have time to look at this today, but I'd like to mention that
for JS errors like these sometimes it's very useful to use the Chromium debugger.

See:
https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector/

Procedure tested on sid target and buster client:

1. start your nodejs app on the target with --inspect-brk, for example:
nodejs --inspect-brk /usr/lib/nodejs/mocha/bin/mocha -u tdd

it will print something like:
Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/c0da40fe-d906-4cfa-9bba-a38db47a37b8

then stop at the first JS line

2. open Chromium on the client and go to chrome://inspect
   click on "Open dedicated DevTools for Node" 
   and add the hostname:9229 to the list

It should connect automagically even if the client can be on a different machine,
unless you have picky firewalls inbetween ...
