that is correct, the redirect is followed even if the location domain is
not specified with -D.
Both --domains and --exclude-domains are checked with links that are
generated by wget when recursively fetching a web page.
In other words, while the first URL is retrieved as effect to a HTTP
redirect, wget shouldn't follow any other link to the new domain, that
would be a bug.
