I can confirm this.

From my home IP:

$ curl http://ba.com
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>301 Moved Permanently</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Moved Permanently</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a
href="http://www.britishairways.com/">here</a>.</p>
</body></html>

From one of my relays (non-exit):

$ curl http://ba.com
<html><head><title>Request Rejected</title></head><body>The requested
URL was rejected.
