It's a bug, wordpress calls status_header(200) in WP::handle_404 which is 
called from WP::main.

status header(200) prints the headers:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Status: 200 OK

But if you want to make a redirect you need status code 301 or 302.

Put status_header(301) or 302 before wp_redirect(..) and it works.

The bug is, that status_header(30{1,2}) should be in wp_redirect.
