Yes, it's much worse with people IMO. I especially hate it when one person redirects to another person.
Just last night I was directed to a situation where an article about an author survived AfD but was redirected to an article about the main book he was notable for, and then the book was speedy-deleted for "lack of notability."
I've restored the book article. Not sure whether to restore the author article as well, but that's something non-admins can do so I leave it in the hands of others.
Perhaps in such cases where an AfD results in a merge, that whole discussion should be considered a part of any comparable discussion for the article to which the merger is made.
