Actually it looks like this is not a good idea for 2 reasons. First it can lead
to an endless loop:

1. User talk:John redirects to User:John
2. WikiLove retrieves the user page for User:John which is User talk:John
3. Goto 1

1. User talk:John redirects to User talk:John/subpage
2. WikiLove retrieves the base page title for User talk:John/subpage which is
User talk:John
3. Goto 1

Secondly, I think it would be confusing for someone on User:John to be
redirected to User talk:Willy after they submit their WikiLove on User:John. I
imagine they would think that an error had occurred.

I've worked around this problem in r92344. The WikiLove tab is now only
displayed on User pages that have real talk pages (not redirects). This means
the user has to follow the redirect on their own, which should eliminate any
confusion.

Marking WONTFIX.
