If I visit action=watch logged out, I get: ---- You must be <a href="/wiki/Special:UserLogin" title="Special:UserLogin">logged in</a> to modify your watchlist. Return to <a href="/wiki/MediaWiki" title="MediaWiki">MediaWiki</a>. ---- The Special:UserLogin URL should include a returnto parameter so that after logging in/registering the user can at least get back to the original page.
I hope that the "Return to MediaWiki" part doesn't mean the title= parameter is being ignored completely (so that it defaults to the main page) just because the token is absent or something. In that case, things might be trickier.
Returnto is to send you to a specific page. not to perform an action. read http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:S_Page_(WMF)/Return_to maybe this is not a bug.

I was wrong earlier. Now I see that if you use the "log in" option at the top right of the page Returnto works correctly. But if you use this "You must be logged in to modify your watchlist" does not work. I'll try solve again.

You can test it by looking at e.g. <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=watch> (the link has no token on it, obviously).
Thanks for the patch!
