the site owner is providing the strongest signal so he needs to get it right.
a 302 status code response does not actually mean "moved" - it means Found:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.3

therefore google will index the originally requested url using the content from the Location: header url.
all of the link equity will go the the original url.
