Mark, these do rarely happen, but do they add value? Having data that points to a non-(machine)-verifiable redirect, a redirect that could be deleted or changed at any moment is very fragile.
I think these should be resolved to the target, and treated as I described in [1] - links to wikipedia pages about multiple objects. This way it will be clear that the tag points to a subsection/component of an article, and will be treated accordingly.
