I call it a bug as it's a regression from where we were auto-redirected to entities for 1 result searches.
Some people don't like this behaviour and some other need it.*
So this could be a new setting in preferences page http://musicbrainz.org/account/preferences for everyone be happy.
This feature was needed and coded(MBS-183).
This feature was later removed (MBS-1507).
I filed a regression ticket (MBS-2874).
Now this ticket tries to keep both worlds happy together.
- The former redirect code suited those people, so there is no need for more development or fixing on it.
Some simple illustrative examples of former redirects :

http://musicbrainz.org/search?type=artist&query=uua

etc.
