Quite right. The symptom I'm experiencing is that I'll occasionally reach pages
such as <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SCOTUSWORK> that are outdated,
while the target of the redirect (in this case,
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_U.S._Supreme_Court_cases/Reports>)
is up-to-date. This only happens when I'm logged out and appears to only happen
with redirects. When I'm logged in, the page content served (via a redirect or
via the target of a redirect) is always up-to-date.

To me, this suggests that Squid cache is not updating properly. The bugs listed
as "see also"s to this bug (bug 29552 and bug 38879) seem to suggest Squid
cache may be to blame as well. It was a comment at bug 38879 (specifically bug
38879 comment 11) that pointed to this live hack as a possible culprit, so I
filed a separate bug for further investigation. If you believe this bug is
simply a duplicate of bug 29552 or bug 38879 or some other bug, feel free to
mark it as such.

Sorry my initial bug report wasn't clearer. I was taking a shot in the dark in
an attempt to to get the problem I'm experiencing resolved.
