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).
The meta refresh tag has been around for ages. So there's a wide support
for it, although i remember some browser offering to disabling it.
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...
I think it's the proper fix.
There shouldn't be any caching issues. The
same is made for eg. user talk messages. Complete pages aren't cached
for logged in users. And the "you're logged in" certainly can't ever
be.
