Question: Is there a negative reply to the REDIRECT?

 Failure to deliver at all (because the target isn't there any more) would be lower layer fault (e.g. SOAP, HTTP), and so would appear to BTP as communications failure.  If the message gets through to the BTP entity, but there isn't any information about the transaction in question, it doesn't matter (this is quite possible given the presume-abort nature of the recovery model). If the message does get through, and there is information that ought to be changed, but it can't be, then there's something wrong with the implementation (possibly only transiently).
 
We could generate a BTP general FAULT for the last case, but we don't actually know where the message has come from, and they can't do anything about it except resend it. REDIRECT is basically a one-way message.
 
Proposed resolution:
No change.  (Note resolution to Issue 15, if agreed, will clarify that the FAULT message is the general negative reply message and can be used were deemed appropriate).
