When I sign up on beta labs for a new account instead of getting thrown back to the article I was on I get this instead: http://imgur.com/zFA7Nql
Has this always been the case or did something change?
I thought we made a decision to move away from this horrible intermediate screen?

(I'm late. Steven already answered. But someone else might find this useful :)
Note that Signup is different from Login. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Account_creation_user_experience https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Login Login (at Enwiki at least) does currently automatically send you back to the page you were at. I'm not sure if we'd want to match that for Signup, as the reminder to check/change Preferences is useful... However, a https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GuidedTour popup (message box pointing directly to the "Preferences" link) might be good.
Ah, see bullet-point #1 at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GettingStarted#Features

Return to is set but I have to click the return to link to get back to the article. It seems very unnecessary and effects our CTA workflows by adding an extra step. Kenan - any opinions on this?

I think that's a bug you're encountering.
The current expected behavior on most wikis is you get redirected to your internal referrer (the returnto parameter with returnto query). If your returnto is NULL, then default is Main Page. S kindly wrote up a related document at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:S_Page_(WMF)/Return_to and recommendation from Jared is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52373#c38
On desktop English Wikipedia, we use CentralAuth's hook CentralAuthPostLoginRedirect to shuffle users through Special:GettingStarted for now. Beta Labs has GettingStarted installed just like prod, but on mobile it shouldn't be doing anything.
