It can and it should!

However, if you look at the commit message on
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/111096/, the author has very kindly provided
'category-move-redirect-override', which allows the default behaviour to be
overriden.

Rather than alter how a #REDIRECT works, I think the focus should be on
improving other real issues that now appear because categories can be moved.

bug 3311

Another way to improve the situation is for the output of the target (reached
via a redirect) to say more than 'redirected from [category:old category]'.  If
automatic category member moving is not implemented, it could say 'redirected
from [category:old category] which has 10 members', which alerts the reader to
the fact that they should visit the old category.
