Is this a different implementation of Diffie–Hellman? As far as I can tell (and I am likely wrong) there needs to be one successful connection attempt using a secure protocol, in this case HSTS, to detect if the redirect was indeed to the correct site or a MitM attack.

It normally does require one successful connection for the server to tell it, but both chrome [0] and firefox [1] have a list of sites built-in so that even the first time they connect they'd be TLS.
