Assigning to self, as a reminder to fix this tomorrow.

Fixed in r25476. I added the blfilterredir param, which you can set to redirects (only redirects), nonredirects (only non-redirects) or all (default). If you want to know which of your backlinks are redirects, use a generator:

api.php?action=query&generator=backlinks&gbltitle=Main%20Page&prop=info

This will feed Main Page's backlinks to prop=info, who will happily tell you whether or not it's a redirect.
