Comment:

 Patch is up.

  * New meta key (_wp_old_slug) which will be hidden (it should just WORK
 without people even seeing it)
  * People who were using the plugin will have their old slugs updated to
 the new meta key on upgrade
  * uses wp_redirect($link, '301') now
  * Only works on posts.  There doesn't seem to be a clean way of
 recognizing failed Page attempts... of course there is always my "Page
 Links To" plugin to take care of that. ;-)
  * Works completely through filters.

 I'm obviously biased, so I'm going to need some +1's here
