 This problem manifests itself in Wordpress '''MU''' 2.9.2, but '''not'''
 in Wordpress 2.9.2.

 In the MU install where blogs are subdirectories, canonical redirects work
 correctly for the subdirectory blogs, but not for pages on the root blog.

 For example, [http://silverwarethief.com/essays/] is a sub-blog in the
 wordpress MU install. If you alter that link to
 [http://www.silverwarethief.com/essays/] wordpress MU will correctly
 redirect the browser to the canonical url.

 However, this does not work with pages on the root blog.
 [http://silverwarethief.com/about/] is a page on the root blog. If you go
 to that link, you will correctly find yourself at the "About" page. If you
 then alter the link to [http://www.silverwarethief.com/about/] you will be
 redirected to the main page of the root blog, not the "About" page.

 I have seen this behavior manifested on more than one MU install.
