Why is AWS S3 Redirect Showing as 302 instead of 301?

Question

I'm implementing a 301 redirect in S3 using this blog post from when the functionality was first announced.

It explicitly says the redirect will be a 301, which is what I want.

Screenshot of the meta data:

But when I curl the 1st url it comes up as 302.

Also, Moz shows two separate redirects, one for
"http://www.trevormckendrick.com/legal-entity"

(note the trailing "/" at the end of the string).

What am I missing?

(Not sure if this would affect it, but I just moved the site from Github Pages to AWS last night.)

This is discussed in the documentation here

The 301 redirect is working; however, it redirects to the page with a leading slash before serving the 301 redirect to the configured sites
