You never need to call it more than twice, because a redirect that points to another redirect is in fact non-functional in the regular interface. I don't think there is a way to make index.php automatically redirect with action=raw; however, you can also use action=render (this is also compatible with the 'redirect' argument, I'll fix the MW page).
