useQuery(..., { ssr: false }) never requests data

[benjie]

See #3418 for this previously reported (with more users seeing the issue); this issue has a reproduction using the error template.

Intended outcome:

useQuery(query, { ssr: false }) runs on the client side on page load in an SSR application.

Actual outcome:

The GraphQL request is never issued to the server and loading never becomes false.

Object
  called: true
  client: ApolloClient {defaultOptions: {…}, resetStoreCallbacks: Array(0), 
  clearStoreCallbacks: Array(0), link: ApolloLink, cache: InMemoryCache, …}
  data: undefined
  fetchMore: ƒ (fetchMoreOptions)
  loading: true
  networkStatus: 1
  refetch: ƒ (variables)
  stale: false
  startPolling: ƒ (pollInterval)
  stopPolling: ƒ ()
  subscribeToMore: ƒ (options)
  updateQuery: ƒ (mapFn)
  variables: {itemId: 13075}
  __proto__: Object

How to reproduce the issue:

Use useQuery(..., { ssr: false }) anywhere, and use SSR.

I've created a reproduction using react-apollo-error-template but I had to downgrade to apollo-client (rather than @apollo/client) because the SSR documentation refers to things that don't seem to be available in @apollo/client yet. This has also required adding a few more dependencies, sorry for the noise - I kept it as minimal as the Apollo SSR documentation would allow me.
