Ahh, your right, I was missing -L for the redirection.
It seems that it's working as it should:

user at ADY-debian-11:~$ curl -L --dump-header - localhost/dir
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: /dir/
Server: Unit/1.27.0

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Type: text/html
Server: Unit/1.27.0
Date: Fri, 04 Mar 2022 11:47:10 GMT

<!DOCTYPE html><title>Error 404</title><p>Error 404.
