with 2.8.5rel.1 and 2.8.7dev.9, I get more than that:

    HTTP/1.1 302 Found

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

says

    The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI.  Since
    the redirection might be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to
    use the Request-URI for future requests.  This response is only cacheable
    if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header field. 

    The temporary URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response. 
    Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD
    contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). 

    If the 302 status code is received in response to a request other than GET
    or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless
    it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions
    under which the request was issued. 

          Note: RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 specify that the client is not allowed
          to change the method on the redirected request.  However, most
          existing user agent implementations treat 302 as if it were a 303
          response, performing a GET on the Location field-value regardless
          of the original request method. The status codes 303 and 307 have
          been added for servers that wish to make unambiguously clear which
          kind of reaction is expected of the client.

With the -trace option, I don't see any additional content:
