Well, what do you propose as an alternative? People vote from all Wikipedias, including the very small ones, so it's very hard to track down individuals. I think the solution to require at least a redirect to an existing user page is a good one.
IMO in order to have your vote counted you must declare on your user page which Wikipedia you are from an provide a link to your Wikipedia user page.

You do realize that taking your statement above literal, your own vote should not be counted? Your meta user page does not declare which Wikipedia you come from.
Mine is even worse: It does not declare which Wikipedia I come from AND it links to my English Wikipedia user page although I come from nl: nowadays.

What ever happened to the idea of unified log-in and user name that applies to all sites in the kingdom? That should include Meta.

That idea is still universally favored by all. It's merely a technical matter that it doesn't exist yet. And 'merely' actually understates the difficulty involved in actually doing it.

P.S.: I've been implementing some things in the last few weeks (sifter demo, wiki table demo, categories) but I feel these will get lost in time (like so many others did before). I guess I'll commit these to the CVS ("unstable tree", I think;-) as soon as *I* think they're ready, and don't wait around for consensus...
