Lynx doesn't follow the REFRESH directive. Instead, it will display
the page with the REFRESH directive in it and allow you to manually
follow the link (2.6 upwards I believe). One of the reasons once
stated was (I think), We want to see where we are going, and not be
blindly bounced all over the place. Or something similar.
So, its not a bug per se, but more of a feature. I'd suggest that you
upgrade to 2.7.x, either ac or fotemods. There are quite a few bug
fixes, enhancements and features.
