Comment(by stefansinn):

 I see that there might be a slight misunderstanding. The domain which uses
 Varnish for redirection of mobile user agents is not http://wetter.info
 but rather http://www.wetter.info. So there is no relation to the HTTP/301
 which is intentionally taking place from wetter.info to www.wetter.info.
 :-)

 Actually, the config we use at www.wetter.info looks like this:

 -- tchik --

 ## 1st part in sub vcl_recv

    if (req.http.user-agent ~ "^SIE-") {
       if (req.http.host ~ "www.wetter.info") {
           error 750 "mobil.wetter.info";
       }
    }

 ## 2nd part in sub vcl_error

  if (obj.status == 750) {
         set obj.http.Location = "http://mobil.wetter.info/";
         set obj.status = 301;
         set obj.http.cache-control = "no-cache, must-revalidate";
         deliver;
     }

 There is no place in this configuration anywhere that mentions the string
 "connec" or anything similar which could trigger the redirect.

 That's the reason we thought it might have been a bug. :-\

 It would be great if we were wrong, and if we are, of course will we move
 to the proper mailing list.

 Thanks for your reply & regards..
