The problem is only on clicking links from google searches that I'm aware of since they use a linkback URL syntax. It will happen once or twice or a few times in a row and then it will eventually cure itself.

I agree with you completely except for the last part, from my research it sounds like the redirect code is designed to only happen so often i.e. not every time you go to the site. I believe AK needs to remove the line of code and then update, but I could be wrong on that. The links I provided earlier explain everything better than I could.

I believe it has something to do with caching. Once correctly resolved I never see it again for the rest of the browsing session. You never get it visiting the site directly, only on a google search.
