# my guess
I guess there is something not correct with the (implementation of the) user right "suppressredirect" (which is required for using the API parameter "noredirect"; see [0]).

It works fine when I try it on my local test wiki. Although I'm using MediaWiki master rather than 1.27.3.

# one more point
If I query the API (api.php) for the moved page with the parameters
* prop=contributors
* titles=$MYPAGENAME
* pcrights=suppressrevision

suppressrevision and suppressredirect are different rights. prop=contributors is also a poor method to check rights, action=query&list=allusers&aurights=suppressredirect would make much more sense. Or, while logged in as your bot, try action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=groups|rights.
