The problem gets worse
pwb.py listpages -ns:0 -start -grep:"REDIRECT" -format:"{page.title}"
won't spot files with #REDIRECT, and
pwb.py listpages -ns:0 -start -format:"{page.title}"
won't list pages with just a #DIRECT line, though it will if they have
extra text
pwb.py replace -page:"David" "#REDIRECT" "@redirect" works
pwb.py replace -start "REDIRECT" "@redirect" will ignore the page
David if it just contains the # line
So whatever pywikibot does for page selection, a #REDIRECT line upsets it
