Comment:

 Thanks for the report Henry! This works as expected for me. When a user's
 login fails, the browser remains on the POSTed form and the value of the
 `redirect_to` (and other) parameters are placed into hidden inputs on the
 login form. If the user subsequently logs in successfully, they are
 redirected to the `redirect_to` location. [https://github.com/WordPress

 login.php#L1352 Relevant code is here].

 Can you try again and confirm you don't have any plugins interfering etc?
