not quite... the user agent doesn't use the presence of the location
header to decide if it's a redirect, it looks at the http status code
(which is 30x for redirects).

from <URL:http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.3>:
--
  Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response
  SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new
  URI(s).

actually they normally have many headers.
