Yes. This misfeature is present in all browsers I know.

I don't think so. It's the normal 'changed permanently' response code.
There is no way for the webserver to send the posted data back, so it's up
to the browser to repost the content after the redirect. This is not
Midgard specific.

:) File a bug with the Mozilla crew. There is no specific response code
that can force a browser to reload, but it could be argued that a 301
should be cause to repost.

No, that's Midgard at work.
