The client can do whatever it wants, and people can link to you in arbitrary ways.
I could send along a patch to change the default
While it might be more ergonomic to only alert the user if the redirect is changing origin,there is nothing inherently wrong with alerting for every redirect. Even if you send a patch tofix (a non-broken) default for that client, there is no guarantee that people don't change thedefault or simply use different clients.
Should I be sending a polite change request to the author of the capsule
You can email the capsule author, but from their perspective, you are making a needless change to aworking URL. The correct way to handle this situation is to either keep redirecting and stop caringabout how different clients handle it, or to stop redirecting and give a not found error and lepeople link you correctly.
