Agreed, it is a bad practice to continue to publish a link that is being actively redirected. Especially if done through the .htaccess as I suggested. But redirected at the PHP level, as in switching out the URL directly on the page, that would have no Google repercussions. I was just suggesting the easy way out if you only have one or two such situations.
