This bug actually only applies to a much more specific case.
It only occurs when the router we end up using is the result of
receiving a redirect to it.
If we use the configured route, and do not get redirected, the problem
never happens.
In any case, your patch is correct, and I'll add some clarification to
the commit message when I check this in.
Thanks a lot!
