New question for anyone who has experienced the redirect:

Two of the three times I've seen it, I was coming in "fresh" to the site, either typing the URL in (auto complete - I just hit "e" and it's my top entry), or coming in via an e-mail message (thread subscription notification). The other time was opening a PM - which spawned a new window.

I think this may be one reason why people who have been sitting on their "reload" buttons haven't been able to reproduce the problem. The exploit may be looking for a fresh "session" with no internal http referrer.

I know some of you have said you got it from clicking an EM link while already on the site, but at least syl4rk and Jamie also got it coming in to a new session from a bookmark or loading the site in a fresh browser.
