Search engine spiders know how to follow redirects... they should be able to index the proper version.

However, I'd recommend not using redirects. Why not just serve up the different versions without a redirect? A redirect is totally unneccesary here. Instead of outputing a Location header, just output the appropriate version of the web page. Google has said that this type of "cloaking" is fine with them.

However, serving a special version for Googlebot (or other spiders) could get you penalized.
