What is fetch's redirect and authorization headers expected behavior? (Safari has different behavior from other Mac browsers) - redirect

Question

In short, when using an authorization header with the fetch api and a redirect is followed Chrome, FireFox, and Opera (on a Mac) include the authorization header in the second request. However, Safari (12.0.1) does not. From the fetch api spec and issue #553 my understanding is that the header should be included. Is this a correct understanding of how fetch is supposed to work?
Here's the simplified code I'm using with a workaround for Safari but I'd like to know if there's something I'm doing wrong that's causing the behavior with Safari or if there is a better workaround.
export async function loadData(token) {
const opts = {headers: {Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`}, credentials: 'include', redirect: 'follow'};
let response = await fetch('/api/data', opts);
// Work around for Safari not including headers in redirected request
if (response.status === 401 && response.redirected) {
response = await fetch(response.url, opts);
}
if (response.ok) {
return response.json();
}
return null;
}
Quick edit some additional info about the redirect. The redirected location is to the same origin and is a 302:
