Comment (by tombarta):

 If the page is already expecting to redirect, it should not have any
 content displayed, and it would seem pretty easy just to write a valid
 HTML document along the lines of
 {{{
 <html>
   <head><meta refresh-magic-syntax></head>
   <body>
     <p>Sorry, automatic redirection failed.
     You should <a href="wherever-we-are-redirecting">continue here</a>.
   </body>
 </html>
 }}}

 That way, you get Javascript redirection as a fallback plus a plain old
 link as a secondary fallback.
