In advance of fixing bug 47328 (which will probably be after the July release), we need to prevent the broken behaviour outlined by C. Scott in bug 47328 comment 1 - so just refuse to load on a page which is a redirect?
For me, if you tried to edit a redirect page, it loads with the redirected page.

It seems like it would be trivial to check whether the page is a redirect and simply disable VisualEditor if so. I'm adding the "easy" keyword to this bug.
