Any better ideas anyone?
Well, one thing that occurs to me that you could do a little bit better/simpler is to just generate the appropriate login cookies, rather than actually posting the login forms for both. The only thing I'm not sure about there, though, is how PHP sessions work, and whether you'd need to actually process those "properly", rather than
The other thing worth mentioning, in terms of longer term planning on this topic, is that a "single login" system for multiple instances of MediaWiki should be coming at some point. The exact details have yet to be finalised, due to the problems of migrating the huge number of existing users on all the Wikimedia projects (several hundred different wikis, once you've counted every language version of each project); but, eventually, it will probably lead to a user management architecture that would be more amenable to this kind of hack.
