permanentRedirect doesn't send 308 status code with loading.js/tsx

Link to the code that reproduces this issue

https://github.com/sam-hsbu/redirectPermanent

To Reproduce

1. Create a folder in app. Let's call it "redirect".
2. Create a page.tsx/js in this redirect folder.
3. Content of this page should contains the permanentRedirect function :

import { permanentRedirect } from "next/navigation";

const page = () => {
  permanentRedirect("/");
};

export default page;

Now when we go to : http://localhost:3000/redirect, we are redirected to the homepage as expected, with a 308 status code :

Let's launch a curl.exe -X HEAD -I http://localhost:3000/redirect

We get this result as expected :

HTTP/1.1 308 Permanent Redirect Vary: RSC, Next-Router-State-Tree, Next-Router-Prefetch, Next-Url, Accept-Encoding Location: / Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate X-Powered-By: Next.js Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Connection: keep-alive Keep-Alive: timeout=5

4. The issue appears when we have a "loading.js/tsx" file in the "app" folder, as simple as this :

export default function Loading() {
  return (
    <div>Wait !</div>
  );
}

The redirection is still made but the status code is 200 :

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Vary: RSC, Next-Router-State-Tree, Next-Router-Prefetch, Next-Url, Accept-Encoding Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate X-Powered-By: Next.js Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Connection: keep-alive Keep-Alive: timeout=5

5. Remove the loading file and the 308 status code came back.

Current vs. Expected behavior

I expected a 308 status code with or without the loading page.

I'm facing a similar issue, if I have the loading file, the redirect (not using permanent) doesn't happen immediately, it does a 200 first flickering the base layout, and then switch to the redirected page. If I remove the loading, it renders correctly all conditions.

Oh I'm not alone so :)
