This is about API, right?

Yes it’s about siteinfo via api

This information is not available to the API to be returned. The URLs are just configured, there's no indication as to whether they redirect somewhere or not.

If you would want this to happen, then first the Interwiki class would have to be updated to provide this information, and the data sources would in turn have to be updated to allow it to be set.

This is pretty similar to be-x-old -> be-tarask issue anyway. API returns something weird instead of what is expected

We have these old redirected sites in our Family file:

# Code mappings which are only an alias, and there is no 'old' wiki.
# For all except 'nl_nds', subdomains do exist as a redirect, but that
# should not be relied upon.
code_aliases = {
    # Country aliases; see T87002
    'dk': 'da',  # Wikipedia, Wikibooks and Wiktionary only.
    'jp': 'ja',

    # Language aliases
    'nb': 'no',  # T86924

    # closed wiki redirection aliases
    'mo': 'ro',

    # Incomplete language code change. T86915
    'minnan': 'zh-min-nan',
    'nan': 'zh-min-nan',

    # These two probably only apply to Wikipedia.
    # Server not found for the other projects.
    'zh-tw': 'zh',
    'zh-cn': 'zh',

    # miss-spelling
    'nl_nds': 'nl-nds',

    # Renamed; see T11823
    'be-x-old': 'be-tarask',

    '-': 'mul',  # T114574
}

But we have no Information about multilingual redirections yet

(yeah, but edit of article with be-x-old interwiki link still fails due to API issue)
