Why not return a 301 so this service could be used directly by web browsers?

I guess that could be an option. On our context, we would love to avoid that all browsers ask for the image url.

Agreed, it's not worthwhile to engage costly App Engine frontends for a memcache lookup.

You could add (e.g.) varnish to cache the redirects.
