My fault!

after reading https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/5237 and http://www.aaron-powell.com/posts/2013-11-28-accessing-location-header-in-cors-response.html, I recognize that there must be something wrong with my CORS configuration of the NelmioCorsBundle (https://github.com/nelmio/NelmioCorsBundle/issues/9). As a quick&dirty fix I added expose_headers: ['Origin','Accept','Content-Type', 'Location'] to the symfony configuration: Before:

nelmio_cors:
    paths:
        '^/api/':
            allow_credentials: true
            origin_regex: true
            allow_origin: ['*']
            allow_headers: ['Origin','Accept','Content-Type', 'Location']
            allow_methods: ['POST','GET','DELETE','PUT','OPTIONS']
            max_age: 3600

After:

nelmio_cors:
    paths:
        '^/api/':
            allow_credentials: true
            origin_regex: true
            allow_origin: ['*']
            allow_headers: ['Origin','Accept','Content-Type', 'Location']
            allow_methods: ['POST','GET','DELETE','PUT','OPTIONS']
            expose_headers: ['Origin','Accept','Content-Type', 'Location']
            max_age: 3600

And now it works like a charm.

So it is not an angular issue and was never really solvable. Sorry! I will keep this for everyone who stumbled over a similar CORS problem.
