Comment (by tereshchenko):

 O.K., after reading the purpose of wp_get_referer() it seems to me that
 there is some mix up - when received by script:
 _wp_http_referer will contain the referer to the page that made the
 request, not the referer to the script itself
 _wp_original_http_referer - will containt the referer to the script
 itself, not the original referer to the requesting page

 So probably _wp_http_referer and _wp_original_http_referer should be
 swapped or renamed (to avoid future confusion).
