301 redirect returning OK?

After implementing

> header("HTTP/1.x 301 Moved Permanently");
> header("location: http://www.newdomain.eu/");

or even HTTP/1.0 or /1.1 into my scripts and though it works for
Internet explorer and firefox i keep on getting, if i take a look into
the headers:

> HTTP/1.x 301 OK

Using .htaccess my servers returns just fine `HTTP/1.x 301 Moved
Permanently`

The questions I have are:
1) should i care (ie; does google care :P)
2) how is 301 in combination with OK possible

Does somebody know the answers?:)

Demo: see the headers from http://www.woordenboekjes.nl/
it should go to http://www.woordenboek.eu/

1) Google is smart enough to follow the redirection;
2) This is possible, because a 30(1|2) header indicates that the source is
available, but at a different location (contrary to the 40x range of return
codes).
