Comment:

 Dear Peter,

 I think this behavior from WordPress is a good thing after all (and not a
 bug). I have been reading about SEO. Apparently (for the sake of
 backlinks) it's better to use a single domain than multiple ones. Because
 with multiple domains, backlinks get spread over all of them and so all
 domains will have a lower score than when using a single domain. Having a
 lot of backlinks apparently outweighs the advantage of using localized
 TLD's. So I will be using only my .com domain and hope that all others
 will continue to be redirected to the .com domain by WordPress.

 Thank you all for your time!

 Jos
