Description
Currently when you use in the redirect destination it is resolved to the real path of the site's front page. This seems like a bug to me, as does not mean the same thing as the "real" path. For example, if you later changed the site's front page, your redirects would be going to the wrong page. The redirects work perfectly if the rewriting is removed, and administration feels a bit more consistent to boot. Patch attached.
This is somewhat related to http://drupal.org/node/454518

Look at me forgetting to escape the < and >. Corrections:

Thanks for the patch. I basically committed the same thing to CVS, but with an upgrade path if it finds any redirections to the current homepage.
