I might have misread this comment, but I found the opposite.
In one instance, I had:
header("Location: $path/newpage.php");
and in another instance:
header("Location: newpage.php");
The latter (without the path) did update the address bar properly. Of
course, there might have been a problem with the way I was parsing the $path
too.. :/
One other thing for posterity's sake:
I had a difficult time discovering why one of the properties in an object I
was storing via a session was being clobbered. I discovered that it was
because I was assuming that nothing after the header() call mattered. What
I didn't realize was that even though the header was set up to redirect to a
new page, the rest of the code in the page was still executing! I put an
exit() statement after the header() call to prevent this.

in my experience, using a full url:
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/mypage.html");
will do what you want while just using a path:
header("Location: /mypage.html");
will not.
