No. If I have no redirect and call a location with no args the referer is
not set when I arrive at web2py's default "Internal error" page. Which is
okay because the standard says referer is optionally set by the client.

That works on some instances, but not for controlling for the wrong number
or the wrong parameters. A concrete example:

1. Currently in www.domain.com/a/c/f/arg1<http://inwww.domain.com/a/c/f/arg1>
2. User edits address bar and presses enter (removed arg1):
www.domain.com/a/c/f/ <http://inwww.domain.com/a/c/f/arg1>
3. The called action:

def f():
    if not request.args:
        redirect(request.last_location) # including args

Perhaps someone knows of an alternative way to accomplish the same?
