They're not supposed to, in many cases.  Redirect to [[Special:UserLogout]] ==
Bad, redirecting a random user page to [[Special:Mypage]] == confusing,
redirecting a users' *own* talk page to [[Special:Mytalk]] == infinite redirect
loop.  Some special pages aren't dangerous to redirect to; there's a config
variable that determines which ones can be redirected to IIRC.  I'm not sure if
that's set to all-off on WMF wikis, or if there is an actual discrepancy
between what's been asked for by the devs and what's actually happening.  But
many special pages aren't *supposed* to be valid redirect targets.
