 I'm assuming that it links to wp.org because it's the WordPress logo
 carrying the link.

 If the link is to point at network home, then there should be a method to
 distribute the network home's logo to the wp-login and replace the
 WordPress logo.

 If the link is to point to point to network site home, then there should
 be a logo from network site that replaces the WordPress logo.

 If not, you just know that eventually someone will try using that
 "accustomed behaviour" of clicking on the WP logo to go to wp.org to
 create a fake wp.org site (for what ever malevolent or mischevious
 reason).

 An option for site branding / logo could be added to Settings - General.
 It's just an instruction to upload a logo of particular dimensions, and if
 not null, then point to the site/network home.  Network admins should have
 option to decide if network logo & link overrides sub-sites' logos and
 links (thus switching off the option in sub sites).
