Comment (by markjaquith):

 Yeah, my bad.  That original patch wasn't quite ready for prime time. :-)

 The intention was for _wp_http_referer field to contain the URL of the
 current page (the referer, to the page the form submits to).
 _wp_original_http_referer is supposed to be used for cases where you do
 something like this:

  * Start at A
  * Go to B
  * Do foo at B
  * Do bar at B
  * return to A

 i.e. you're not going back one step, but back to a original step.  So
 that's the one that should be passed along, and _wp_http_referer should
 always be the previous page.
