So what happens: After registration the user stays on "Special:UserLogin" showing "Welcome, username" and below some other included system messages together with a link "Return to 'the page you last visited'". So there is no direct return to the original page.
On e.g. German Wikipedia I get directly to the original page. Does anyone know the trick to get MW obeying the "returnto" parameter instead of ignoring like described? I will document this as soon as the trick in know to me.
The "page you last visited" is probably actually a link to the 'returnto' page. The link was changed to an automatic redirect in MediaWiki 1.24 (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/148144/ / d0439af89f6b254cea09b3773ab139f04f81a97d).
