Yes. This is because the browser assumes a local URL and thus uses the
base href to produce the full address. The base href contains the port
of the current session. As you say, you can easily circumvent this by
writing

   (redirect "http://localhost:8080/@desktop";)

or (if with httpGate)

   (redirect "http://localhost/8080/@desktop";)

This is because the cookie header information is normally set in
'httpHead'.

However, 'redirect' calls 'httpStat', which builds its own head (without
setting the cookie information). But I doubt it would help to send the
cookies here anyway, because the browser won't probably pass them to the
new address (?)

I'm not sure if that answers all your questions ...

BTW, (url "@signin") is not needed here. It is implicit by the 'form'
mechanism which always POSTs back to iteself. Instead, you could display
an error message, e.g.:

   (gui '(+Button) "Login"
      '(ifn (chkLogin (val> (: home uname)) (val> (: home pwd)))
         (err "Could not log in")
         (cookie 'uid Uid)  # Implicit 'prog' in the 'else' part
         ... ) )

Cheers,
