I'm almost wondering if there is something in the redirect that is causing this issue.

This is most likely a problem dns/server/hosting side. www.domain and domain could even point to different content, even if it's unlikely. it's considered a good choice to have the flat domain return the same content as the www subdomain.

I confirmed this is not a bug.  As you can see below the server is producing an invalid URL on the 302 redirect.
