Ok, I was going to make this a bug report but it seems to work as intended, although, IMHO, not as good as it could.

  1. Make a thread in forum A
  2. Make reply no.1
  3. Make reply no.2
  4. Move to forum B, leave a redirect in forum A
  5. Make reply no.3
  6. Make reply no.4
  7. Make reply no.5
The redirect in forum A will say that the last post was reply no.2. However, obviously, there have been 3 posts since, however the redirect only shows the last post info of the original forum. Now I can see why it does it, if it displayed the 'true' last post info, it'd get bumped to the top of forum A each time it was replied to in forum B, which would be daft, but the fact that it says the last post was reply no.2 is misleading. Instead of having a false value, why not just leave it blank, or have a link like 'Go to thread' instead.

I just can't see the point in having a value there that isn't entirely accurate.
