 referrer should be the root URL of the referring website, site_url should
 be an adequate solution to this. See patch.

 Considering this was selected as a solution, it could be part of an
 upcoming Wordpress release. Hoping to get some support on this or another
 solution as the referrer being set as the destination URL does not make
 any sense at all.
