WSJ seems to have made a recent change to stop the old search-for-the-title-in-google trick. If you visit the article first and then leave and come back with google referers it doesn't work anymore. But if you've never visited the article and you come from google it does show it. Even when you delete your cookies and then try to come via google it won't show the article. That means they're using flash cookies or some other insidious persistent cookie technique. Not sure if this violates Google's terms.

Incognito mode in chrome seems to evade whatever form of tracking they are using.

Have you tried deleting your cache? The simplest explanation for this behavior is that the old redirect was cached. It could be something more insidious as well, of course, but that would be... evil.
