Symfony routing through custom bundle only works in console mode

Question

I am new to Symfony but not to PHP. I just can't figure out why I can't get a homepage route to work from a custom bundle, but it does appear to be working from console output. When I execute the route in my web browser it will always retunr the / route from the AppBundle, i.e. the default Symfony welcome page even though the AppBundle has been removed from the registerBundles() function in AppKernal.php. I can confirm this because if delete the AppBundle directory from /src I will get the following error log:

[2016-06-22 19:07:57] request.INFO: Matched route "homepage". {"route_parameters":{"_controller":"AppBundle\\Controller\\DefaultController::indexAction","_route":"homepage"},"request_uri":"http://bvd-v3.dev/"} []
[2016-06-22 19:07:57] security.INFO: Populated the TokenStorage with an anonymous Token. [] []
[2016-06-22 19:07:57] request.CRITICAL: Uncaught PHP Exception InvalidArgumentException: "Class "AppBundle\Controller\DefaultController" does not exist." at /Users/apple/projects/mentel/bvd-v3/var/cache/prod/classes.php line 2498 {"exception":"[object] (InvalidArgumentException(code: 0): Class \"AppBundle\\Controller\\DefaultController\" does not exist. at /Users/apple/projects/mentel/bvd-v3/var/cache/prod/classes.php:2498)"} []

Yet, if I call php bin/console router:match /

The output is:
