Should an NPP flipping a redirect to a non-redirect allow them to also review it?

Reported by @Clovermoss at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Possibility_for_change_in_page_curation?

Flipping a redirect to a non-redirect adds the page back to the NPP queue, to prevent UPEs and other bad actors from hijacking redirects and skipping the NPP queue.

For newly created articles, there is also an anti-UPE security measure that NPPs cannot review their own articles that they create.

Combining these two ideas, should an NPP flipping a redirect to a non-redirect also prevent the NPP from reviewing that particular article, because it is now their own article?

Should test both redirect to disambiguation page, and redirect to article, and see what the current behavior is. If they don't match, then this is a bug. If they do match, then we should discuss here if this "able to patrol their own articles" loophole is worth patching.
