The 301 redirect is not considered.

But as /blah is not identical to /2b514w there is an issue with an URL
being hidden.

The wording of the message is in fact your job as an adminstrator. That
is why the text is in seperate langauge files. If you use templates
without a changes and accept them then that is your choice but in this
case the wording is yours to change.
