 Taking a quick looks it's slightly unrelated but still an issue so I've
 reopened this for @Otto42 to look at.

 This issue is specific to the actual 'Log In' button on those sites as
 it's providing a redirect_to param on the URL that's truncated and doesn't
 hold the full URL.

 For instance your example -
 https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/handbook/extensibility/theme-support/
 The URL on the login for this page has -
 https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fgutenberg%2F&locale=en_US

 Another example is - https://wordpress.org/about/
 The URL on the login for this page has -
 https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2F&locale=en_US

 As to your logout issue;
 > Actually, the logout also takes me to the profile page (after verifying
 I want to log out).
 I can't seem to reproduce that, for me it just logs out without needing to
 verify and returns to the original page.
