No redirect auto-created when using bulk action "Update URL Aliases"

When updating a node URL alias, for example by re-savin the node form, a redirect is being created, pointing to the old URL, which makes a lot of sense (GOOD). In contrast to that, it seems like no redirect is created to the old URL when using the core bulk operation "Update URL Alias" on admin/content (BAD) which I'd expect to work the same way. Now all my newly generated URLs have no redirect from their old URL.

Is that expected behaviour, just a missing piece or did I make a mistake?

I'd suggest to add the creation of a redirect by default when using that bulk action or add a switch to the redirect page to enable / disable that functionality if someone thinks it isn't helpful in all cases.

Would be great to get some feedback. Thank you for this great module! :)
