Beware of using [device = wap] in TYPO3, it's outdated. As such Internet Explorer 8 is detected and your mobile code is activated.

Try using extension wurfl, based upon the Wireless Universal Resource File, instead as follows.

# Send mobiles to mobile site
[userFunc = user_wurfl_getDeviceCapability(is_wireless_device)]
	config >
	config.additionalHeaders = Location: m.example.com
	page >
	page = PAGE
	page.10 = TEXT
[end]

While I haven't been successful getting wurfl2 working on a PHP 4 box, wurfl does fine.

Though documentation says that [device = wap] detection is over written, I haven't found that to be the case.
