>> Why does that fix the problem?

Because by the time you re-save the page, the page is recognized (which by then is a synonymous) as a redirect and the target source starts to inherent the redirects properties (only direct redirects count, a redirect of a redirect will have no effect).

>> How does the redirect page in this one case not get access

I don't really remember (haven't looked at Store3) but what normally happens is that when you initiate a redirect of a page the container (with all its properties) gets delete from the the database and only after a job run/or re-save (see above) this page is recognized with an internal state of "_REDI" which makes the redirected source properties part of the new target page.

Also there is a difference of doing a page move (including a redirect) and just doing a redirect ( #REDIRECT ) which involves different code to be executed. For a more closer look of the inner workings of the redirect handling see SMWSQLStore3Writers updateRedirects and changeTitle.
