If I were building a toolbar that followed tracked people's clicks, I would take some measures to have it record the 'final' URL loaded by the browser and not the naive link from the DOM. There are all sorts of redirectors in use and not working around them generically would give distorted results.
The lack of google redirects in bing's results doesn't look like proof, or even a smoking gun to me.
