Does redirect really get created automatically?

Issue Summary

If the new alias is different from the original a 301 redirect post is also inserted into the path_redirect table.

I can see that this module's code calls pathauto_create_alias() but it is my understanding from various issues (and also from checking the pathauto and path_redirect modules' code) that calling this function does not invoke the path_redirect functionality that is triggered by editing a node manually (i.e. via nodeapi). I don't see any explicit code in url_alias_cleaner.module to do this so I would not expect 301 redirects to be created by URL alias cleaner?

Having said that, automatic bulk redirect creation is exactly what I need!
