So it sounds like you are saying that the new text about how the count
of Received headers MUST be larger is connected to that.  That since
some implementations may choose to count Received lines to avoid loops,
all implementations must have a higher Received line count when doing
redirect.

If two (or more) implementations are configured to loop, just one adds Received headers and uses them for loop control, that's enough to stop the loop.

I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't add Received anyway, just based on advice in 2821 (and common sense).
