I think I know what's the problem: the link in the messages ("You have
to login to edit", etc.) is [[Special:Userlogin|log in]]. I suggest to
use "You have to $1 to edit" ($1 is "log in" in the local language,
linked to Userlogin with returnto) instead of "You have to
[[Special:Userlogin|log in]] to edit", etc.
Also, we can change the links parsing, so linking to
[[Special:Userlogin]] will also generate a "returnto" link. I don't
think it's a good idea.

This is a known bug, it doesn't work in 1.5.x
or 1.6.x.
If you click a red link, it says you need to login. The link on _that_
page does not forward the page from where you came, so logging in via it
will return you to the main page (this has frustrated my users to no
end).
Got the bug number to hand?
