iOS 11.0 - didn't test iOS 10, can't say if it is the case there too.
Steps to reproduce:
Put iPad in Landscape, open up Settings. Select any fullscreen item (like Review GitHub Access), try to get back to previous page (Done), the rewind transition will get back to a fullscreen Settings (not a modal) at first and when the transition animation is finished, Settings will become a modal again.
I believe this is a bug in UIKit, not GitHawk :(
