I don't think that will be a problem.

For one thing (for the namespaces I am working with) the expectation would 
be that ALL the responses (except 100 and 403) would have the RPH on the 
response, so it wouldn't matter which one made it back to the UAC.

Secondly, the expectation is that the devices responsible for 
"re-initiating" WOULD be stateful, and not dependant on the information in 
the RPH in the response.  It is the intervening devices that might not be 
stateful, and would take advantage of the RPH information in the 
responses.
