I believe that in most of the cases where this error shows up in my logs, the client has made a GET request to /contextual/render. It looks like bots that are monitoring all the URLs accessed by a page request and trying to hit all of them. So they make a normal request to some page on the site, which triggers an ajax event that does a POST to /contextual/render, and somehow they see that URL and try to follow it.
I think it would be preferable to just silently fail in that case, versus the BadRequestHttpException. I certainly get a ton of these errors and they're effectively meaningless.
