I noticed too, that the file dialog behaves wiered concerning redirections, 
while developing the devices:/ slave. It behaves much different than eg a 
normal konqueror icon view.

A different thing:
Did you try the webdav slave in konqueror with the tree view activated ? It 
would be interesting if you get the same problem as I got with the devices:/ 
slave. If you expand a directory (with the plus sign) and show a redirected 
directory, than hit onto the refresh button, now the directory appears twice. 
the first one with the url before redirection, and a second time with the 
already redirected url.

Kind regards
