None of this thread's suggestions are necessary. If the entry is

means the response message contains a representation of the entry
at that location. It is already defined and generic to HTTP.
But if you're posting to a media collection, then Location will
contain the URL of the media resource itself. So if the response
content is an Atom entry document then its Content-Location can't
possibly be equal to the Location.
Right. That is what we want to happen in that situation. The client
finds out that what it received back is not a representation of
the media resource that was posted.
