I believe there's a bug with ftp and redirects when using a proxy. ftp seems to add the redirect URL to the proxy host, fetching http://proxy/new-url instead of http://orighost/new-url. I'm not certain this isn't a server or proxy bug, in part because I'm not certain who's supposed to say what or how it's interpreted, but my first guess is to blame ftp. :) In the same setup, chrome redirects to http://orighost/new-url.
