I did too until I looked at the code and saw that it only changed the
status accessor on the response object.  

I've ended up using the DefaultEnd plugin which has the check in it
for a 3xx status and doesn't call the view if that is the case.  I do
wonder whether this should be in the core code ... any way it works
now.
