Stub color display is determined by the length of the article, I believe, and
not by the stub template.

Regardless, I can confirm this bug. Links to "Directors Guild of America"
appear in the stub color, under my threshold. Links to "Director's Guild of
America", which is a redirect to "Directors Guild of America", do not appear in
the stub color.

I would be inclined to say WONTFIX on this one.

It's easy enough to check if a link will be a redirect and slap the mw-redirect class on it. A bit more work (extra queries?) to check each one of those redirects final targets, see if they're within your threshold, and then change the color.
