IMHO, this is definitely a bug. It violates the Principle of
Least Astonishment. First-pass just-awake thoughts about whence it
should come: from the redirected request, if applicable, then the
main server's Port value, then the canonical port (80).
That may or may not make sense; I *did* just wake up, and my desktop
is thrashing so it's difficult to type and impossible to check
references.
