Can I now redirect [[en:xyz]] to [[de:xyz]] and back, keeping the system busy?
Um, yes. Please don't do that. ;)
Your browser should be smart enough to give up after the first few.
Also, I don't see any reason why one would redirect to another language. If one reads the en wikipedia, I doubt s/he wants to be redirected to, say, a chinese article. IMHO that should be restricted to wikipedia, meta and the 9-11 site.
Well, what's the benefit in not being able to? (Once the kinks are smoothed out, which you're more than welcome to do.)
Which reminds me -- not for redirecting, but for interwiki linking in general. Do we want to allow convenient [[Site:Title]] linking to other non-Wikipedia wikis?
Eg, [[MeatBall:InterWiki]] would get you to http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?InterWiki
I imagine this would be of use mainly in discussion pages, though perhaps there's some good reference material out there.
