issues with the -dump option

Dear Lynx team,

If I use lite.duckduckgo.com to search for "lynx browser", I do get a list
of legitimate links. I can do this repeatedly and I get the same result
each time, as it should be.

If I use lynx -dump https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q="lynx browser",
however, I see the same list of links the first time (OUTPUT 1 below).
However, on subsequent runs, I get nothing usable (OUTPUT 2 below).

Because this problem does not occur if I search inside lynx (without
-dump), the problem cannot be with duckduckgo but has to be with lynx -dump.

Am I doing something wrong? Can you help?
