To make that a bit clearer: [[Category:Foo]] isn't a link but rather an
instruction to include the page in the category. Similarly, [[Image:Foo.jpg]]
isn't a link but an embedded image. Using [[:Category:Foo]] produces a link and
so that should be used for redirects.

It's kind of like the difference between [[Template:Foo]] linking to a template
and {{Foo}} including it; I believe at one point there was a proposal to do
categories and images with {{curly bracket syntax}} to make this less confusing
but nothing came of it.
