Heh, interesting "fix".
Actually, on that note I have a few thoughts.
Firstly, how wide is the browser support for that meta tag for
refreshing the page and redirecting it to another url?
I don't know, so I don't know if the meta tag, or javascript would be
better. (Though you should also consider that some people explicitly
disable JS because they don't want automatic redirection, so JS might be
better, dunno).
Secondly, the logged in successful page is rather small. Has anyone
actually thought of instead enabling this as a message in the page above
the title (Like Sitenotice, or the (un)watch, or usernotice messages),
however that may have light caching issues and could use some sort of
disabling variable, or maybe that's best for AJAX.
Actually, for that matter, what about AJAX? I'm honestly seeing things
like the AJAX Watchlist, new messages inside of Special:Contributions,
and other simple things being setup with a nice AJAX method. Why not
some form of AJAX login? Or, even if it's not AJAX, a JS login form on
the page, one which will actually direct itself directly back to the
page and display the login notice there, instead of dedicating a Special
page 'stub' to such a pitiful notice.

r23979 by simetrical to close bug 9151*: Remove timed redirects on
"Return to X" pages for accessibility.
http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/OutputPage.…
One of such cases when RELEASE NOTES were forgotten to be updated.
*However, bug 9151
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9151
is not related to that change. It should be bug 9153
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9153
The request was originally to make the time configurable and was fixed
by completely removing the feature :S
