Isn't this something the HTTP WG should be doing? If they have plans to 
obsolete the header then I think it makes sense for us to discourage its 
use, but so far I've seen nothing suggesting they're even contemplating 
that.

The way I see it, until a standards body tells us otherwise, we are obliged 
to support the Content-Location header unless we can provide a very good 
argument for ignoring it. The Firefox developers may well have done that for 
web browsers, but I'm not yet convinced that their issues are necessarily 
applicable to aggregators.
