very interesting experiment, and very amusing results.  bravo.

I would say that 1 in 25 is low enough as not to be considered 
"defacing" a web site.  what text have you used, concretely, which had 
the impact you describe?  in my opinion the shortest, the better, and I 
guess you did NOT use »It looks like this site forgot to put the 
required attribution in this map corner, so we added it for them. Thx 
for using OpenStreetMap !«, did you?  it was in French, wasn't it?

my best guess would be nothing else than the attribution text, and some 
help to solve their situation, or to get in contact with you.

I absolutely share the point of view "contact emails lead to no 
contact", and the "whatever works" policy.  this seem to work, so again, 
chapeau!

indeed, it would be interesting to see your nginx partial redirect.
