Comment (by tereshchenko):

 As I look to the wp_get_referer() function, it looks like an obvious
 defect. It shouldn't be:
 {{{
 $_REQUEST['_wp_http_referer'], $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
 }}}
 because if you will update several option pages one after another,
 _wp_http_referer will be kept the same, even if $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
 is valid and present. It should be:
 {{{
 $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $_REQUEST['_wp_http_referer']
 }}}
 In this case new referer will be preferred (if it exists).
