Sound reasonable, if I remember right looking over the code, they have a
fix for this incorrect behavior not the other way round. It takes a lot of code
to check if it's alright to send people on their way instead of things just
working. I think I something like that when I first encountered the bug. There
are also so many cookie timeout things that just work when this behavior is
right. Dealing with a 302 is very easy, just pipe the location to
window.location.
