My project has a URL for users in the format {{{/staff/$USERNAME}}}. The
view contains a form allows the user to update their details and redirects
to {{{/staff}}} on submission.
Recently (since either 1.9 or 1.9.1), I've been getting Broken Link email
alerts without a corresponding 404 in the {{{nginx}}} server logs. It
turns out these are being generated when the user updates their username,
so when the redirect occurs, {{{/staff/$OLD_USERNAME}}} (the referer URL)
is no longer valid.
My project has not changed in the way it processes these requests: this is
a new feature/bug/regression in Django, as far as I can tell.
