Comment:

 > Shouldn't redirect_canonical() be taking care of this?

 Thats where it should be handled, However, Canonical at present mainly
 covers redirecting query vars to rewritten url's, along with common
 duplicate content url's (such as those using %category%).

 My patch on #12456 should be able to deal with this case.
