Found the problem: We had our base page using an MSDN sample for showing
long-running pages as a countdown during load. The Server.Transfer call
moved Request.Params out of the read-only area of the query string and into
the Context.Items collection, which the client-side long-running-code stuff
could not detect, thus sending it back to the page that called it. Because
it was a client-side redirect, I never caught it in my debugger. I'm going
to change around my "redirect" code to ignore certain Request.Params, such
as that one and any session/cookie stuff so that only app-defined vars get
moved around like that.
