No but the difference is how this bug is solved. In https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/186240/ it explicitly checks if the page is a redirect and throws an exception otherwise. If https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T54564 is solved this no longer works. And it also changes how the library reacts, as it currently doesn't matter if the page is a redirect. With that patch it would matter but only as long as redirects haven't linked to it. So a script can't rely on that exception to be thrown.
