Workaround: mw.wikibase.getEntity() always returns the target entity with the new id. So you can do:

local id = ...
local entity = mw.wikibase.getEntity(id)
if id ~= entity.id then
    it's redirected
end

Matej, workaround seems to solve the problem. Maybe we should document the way to check for redirects and close this task, or do we want to add short trivial function to mw.wikibase to do the test?
