I’m not sure what you mean? I’m visiting e.g. http://pad.lv/1, just after validating the URL the address bar displays "pad.lv" (it shortens the URL to the domain name only), then a redirect to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1 happens, and the address bar correctly displays "bugs.launchpad.net". So it appears that the URL is updated in the address bar upon redirect.

Can you detail the steps to reproduce the issue, what you expect to see, and what happens instead?

I have just run your example on a Nexus 7 with devel-proposed channel

What I expect to see is the URL of the currently displayed page in the address bar.
Although the displayed page is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1, the address bar is incorrectly displaying bugs.launchpad.net.
