The only way I know of is to mount the emacs directory at the root of a
local web server. It's pretty convenient, in fact. But of course you
won't do all the fancy things that the gnu server does.

I think this is expected, because you get it every time the index is
rewritten to another file. For instance, you get a 302 with gsrc
(index.html is rewritten to gsrc.html) but not with barcode (index.html
is a real file).
There are 2 sorts of rewrite directives:
* Some are in the Apache config. You and I can't change them (unless you
are a sysadmin). One of the things they do is rewrite
/software/emacs/emacs.html to /savannah-checkouts/gnu/emacs/emacs.html:
RewriteCond /var/www/savannah-checkouts/gnu/$1 -d
RewriteRule ^/software/([^/]+)(.*)$ /savannah-checkouts/gnu/$1$2
* Others are generated from the .symlinks files, which webmasters and
package maintainers can edit. Emacs has at least one:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/.symlinks
Here is the first line:
emacs.html index.html
It is used to generate an entry in a rewrite map which is processed by a
series of directives. The last one ends with [R,L], explaining the 302.
Best,
Thérèse
