Perhaps you're unfamiliar with how the redirect code works?

To find the target of the redirect from the page wikitext, it just looks for
"#REDIRECT [[...]]" in the raw text at the beginning (properly localized and
such, of course). It never parses the wikitext at all. See
newFromRedirectInternal() in Title.php.

When doing a redirect=no page view, it parses the wikitext of the page in order
to get categories, template backlinks, interwiki links, and such. But at the
moment, it just throws the output text of that parse away. Not throwing it away
is bug 14323. See view() in Article.php, at lines 878-886 in r53792.

Stopping the throwing-away won't at all affect the function used to find the
target, and changing how the target-finding function works won't stop throwing
the parser output away.
