I don't know of a reason XHR would behave differently.

I tried one of our relevant tests myself and 307 redirects do preserve the method in our testing. I don't have a live copy that you can try but the following links show the sources to the test, and you can try it under your own Apache instance if you like:

http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/http/tests/loading/redirect-methods.html
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/http/tests/loading/resources/redirect-methods-form.html
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/http/tests/loading/resources/redirect-methods-result.php

I can try to investigate why mnot's test is giving different results. It would be helpful if I could see the source for the server-side parts of that test.
