Description:
Today April 15, 2008, on the English or Swedish Wikipedia,
in any article where the current version is a redirect,
if I try to view a previous version, all I get to see is the redirect.
However, I can view the old contents by ordering up a diff.

One example is the page name [[en:King Charles XII of Sweden]],
which has two versions, both dating from November 2002.
The most recent version is a redirect, but the previous
version contained some text.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=King_Charles_XII_of_Sweden&action=history

If I click the time+date of the older version (05:33, 24 November 2002),
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=King_Charles_XII_of_Sweden&oldid=442033
I get to see the redirect, which is the content of the current version.
This is bad. It should show the text of the old version.

If I instead click the diff button, I get to see the old text
and the new redirect,
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=King_Charles_XII_of_Sweden&diff=16038822&oldid=442033

This used to work only a few days ago, so it has been broken very
recently.
