If it was me on a site of mine (not someone else's since this is 'a bit questionable' as an approach) ... If I still wanted the page, personally, I think I'd change the extension of the page (.htm, .php, .SomethingDifferentThanItIs), update the internal links and redirect everyone, except GoogleBot, which I would serve a 410 to since Google's seeming to be the only one having some type of issue with the page.

Basically, I'd 'cloak' the redirect for 'regular visitor' convenience and let gBot find the new location on it's own, because it's sounding like Google is the only visitor to the page that has an issue with it.
