If this were an 'undocumented feature', then users are responsible for submitting a docs patch that it is a feature in-use.

Pulling Coar/Bowen '04 "Apache Cookbook" off the shelf, this error was propagated by the last example in 5.8 (and likely elsewhere); Redirect gone /foo.html which likely isn't working in 2.4.15.
