On the French Wikipedia, Copyvio edits are stored in a /copyvio subpage (and deleted of course). The procedure is: 1) Delete the page 2) Restore copyvio edits 3) Move the page to Page/copyvio 4) Delete this subpage 5) Restore non copyvio edits 6) Undo the last edit (the redirect made while renaming the page)
So at step 3), you need to uncheck both "Move associated talk page" and "Update any redirects that point to the original title" checkboxes. This process is already long, and it would be a pain in the ass if we'd need to add __STATICREDIRECT__ before step one and remove it with the last one.

I would say yes. __STATICREDIRECT__ is for a page that should never be updated, regardless of what DoubleRedirectJob thinks. The checkbox allows you to not update redirects for a particular move, if you have some (god knows why) reason for wanting to leave double redirects in place.
The question is if "god knows why" actually translates into any conceivable reason. If it's probably never going to come up, then it should be safe to require them to manually adjust all the redirects. The checkbox should be removed, IMO, unless there's an actual realistic use-case for it.
