Replying to [comment:6 KZeni]:
> It really appears to be such a simple & harmless streamlining of this
function that only makes things more reliable
I agree — the only reason I discovered I was having the issue at all was
purely by chance, because it worked fine without `nocache_headers()` in
most cases while I was working on it. I could easily see someone having no
idea there's an issue until someone complains, and at least in my case, I
don't even remember how I found this solution.
In any case, I have it working now and hopefully I'll remember this the
next time I use a redirect, but it does seem like a simple and sensible
fix that I hope gets attention.
