This is actually a bug, and after two weeks of illness and trying to catch up,
I am now investigating these two top problems I heard. Moreover, I will
enhance configuration a bit, making for even easier install.

In Cookie-only-mode, no redirects should happen. That's the theory, and it
will become reality tonight, I hope.
One more thing, when using absolute links with URL sessions, the http_referer
session detect needs to redirect. This is what messes up PerForm, IIRC. The
redirect is no bug, it's a feature. The messing up is a bug - it was designed
not to.
