PEI event not working as expected after Hofix 1 for 5.0.2

Question

Dear all,
we are running in some problems after installing the Hotfix to our Portalversion 5.0.2.
After installing the Hotfix 1 for Plumtree Portal 5.02 we have a problem with a PEI event that worked without any problem before. The redirect does not work anymore, instead it redirects to the standard login view (the same you would see if you try to login with the wrong password, username or authentication source). Are there any hints on a solution for that problem?
Many thanks in advance,
This is an excerpt of the code:
import com.plumtree.uiinfrastructure.activityspace.Redirect;
public class LoginActions implements ILoginActions {
public Redirect OnBeforeLogin(ApplicationData appData, String userName) {
     if (someCondition()) {
          Redirect r = new Redirect();
          r.SetLinkToExternalURL("http://www.foo.bar");
          r.SetIsHTTPRedirect(true);
          return r;
     } else {
          return null;
// rest of code omitted for clarity

Some of the Redirects returned by the methods in LoginActions are broken. These problems will be addressed in the next Service Pack. In the meantime, here is a summary of what works, what doesn't and how you can code around those bugs: OnAfterLogin: Redirecting the Guest user to an external URL doesn't work. Instead of using the Redirect object, set the URL in the header. Here is how you can do this:_appData.SetHeader("Location", "http://www.plumtree.com");_appData.SetStatus(302); All other redirects work. OnBeforeLogin: Redirecting from OnBeforeLogin doesn't work at all. Once again, instead of using the Redirect object, set the URL in the header:_appData.SetHeader("Location", "http://www.plumtree.com");_appData.SetStatus(302); Another option is to redirect from OnAfterLogin.
