There are lots of variations on redirect issues. The fix in 1.8.5.4 was very specific to a certain server setup. Are you sure that is the issue you were having?
With WP admin and FTP access, we can clear up redirect issues for our members. If you contact us via our contact form and link to this comment for reference, I can follow up with you to help you out. (Can typically only do this for our paid support.)
If you want to give it a shot yourself, this plugin when activated will dump debug information to help track down which plugin/function is redirecting.

From there, we have to figure out how to reconfigure plugins to redirect with each other nicely or figure out what is failing in our logic checks to cause the redirect when it shouldn’t.
Why is this an issue and not handled automatically by the plugin? Because you can configure WP to run with many different themes and plugins, all of which have their own ideas and how and when to redirect. Also, you can have many different kinds of server setups, which will do different things like set $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] to “Off” or “off” or “no” or “false” or “FALSE”… or not at all and use a different method. As we discover these, we update the plugin to account for them, but there will always be gaps in coverage.
Thanks.
