Movable Type 2.66 has been released.

Like others, I was not happy with the redirect they put in. I've implemented a quick patch to allow you to disable this particular feature in your mt.cfg. Another change was to remove the _blank target from the redirect and making it valid XHTML. > Backup files. Use at your own risk

Update

Since I first released this patch, MT 2.661 has been released. If you intend to use redirects, then I recommend you upgrade to MT 2.661 and apply the new patches. If not, then don't upgrade to MT 2.661 and just apply the patch for MT 2.66.

Usage

I've set it to default to the old behaviour. If you want to enable/disable it then add the following line to your mt.cfg. 1 enables it, 0 disables it. Don't need to alter mt.cfg at all if you want the old behaviour.
