Hmm. Just tried in Chrome myself and got same as you.
Normally use Firefox and it returns a blank screen. I think the Chrome response is from Google not C.C API.
Just tried an experiment in a command window.
Valid team name: OK
curl https://api.chess.com/pub/club/somerset-wyvern/matches
Return List of team matches
Invalid team name (No extended UTF): Returns error code:
curl https://api.chess.com/pub/club/somerset-wyvern/matches
Returns {"code":0,"message":"Club \"somerset-wyv\" not found."}
Invalid team name (With extended UTF) Returns null
curl https://api.chess.com/pub/club/principauté-de-monaco/matches
get zip!

Is that to say the c.c server isn't returning an intelligible error code and the browser is generating a default?

Yes, I think so. Google being too clever and masking an issue from the source.
It's an irritation rather than a show stopper but a call to API shouldn't return null.
https://api.chess.com/pub/club/{ID}/matches
if request sent to this end point with team name with UTF chars then returns null string.
No error code sent back. Would expect either 404 or 410 response.
Example:
