Sorry, I forgot to bring souvenirs.

I promise I was up to good.

It first happened in my browser while navigating to my profile
https://sv.gnu.org/u/blc, which I then confirmed via wget/curl HEAD.

[ I was then AFK for a while, and when I returned wget was
  reporting the expected location of savannah.gnu.org. ]

In fact it's still happening even after rebooting!
(I wonder if Firefox is caching something.)
Here's what Firefox's network inspector has to say:
