This behavior is by design.

add forms need the nextURL because it is advisory to the IAdding.

edit forms can just use the changed hook to call  
self.request.response.redirect('http://whereever.you.want/to/go')

Or use formlib, and be able to be fully in charge the way you'll  
eventually want to be.
