For POST, with DEBUG=True, Django attempts to notify you (as far back as release 1.0) of the potential problem of loss of post data during this redirect via this code: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/releases/1.0/django/middleware/common.py#L60 I don't know MailChimp, but you should either configure it to request callback URLs that include trailing slashes, or configure your URLs for these callbacks so that they do not require the trailing slash.
