Note that KrBot only updates statements pointing to redirects after a certain time has passed (a week, I believe). This is by design: otherwise, it would be more difficult to “untangle” bad merges, since after undoing the merge on the item itself, you could not distinguish between statements that should now point back to the original item and statements that always pointed to the other (merge target) item. This is less of a problem nowadays, since we have edit groups <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Edit_groups> and KrBot assigns an edit group per processed merge (and you can undo the entire edit group); on the other hand, edit groups are a Wikidata-only tool (compare T203557 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T203557>), so on Commons you would still have this problem of being unable to untangle bad merges. I have trouble imagining Wikibase automatically updating references to redirects after such a long delay, though.
