Comment(by mikeperry):

 Hrmm, instead of warning at all, we should prevent redirects from
 transmitting or storing any identifiers. The best heuristic might still be
 to delete identifiers after the fact when a cycle is detected, but we
 should think a little more about alternatives, as after-the-fact deletion
 won't cover all cases.

 See also #4286 for redirect API discussion.
