 Fair enough.

 My original use-case was to cancel the redirect to media-new.php from
 post-new.php?post_type=attachment (which I quickly found was impossible).

 I guess we should remove the "allows the wp_redirect filter to cancel a
 redirect" bit in `wp_redirect()` then. No longer possible post-3.1. I'll
 create a separate ticket.
