en.wp user Professor Hog reports: "If you try and use beta to edit a page, but you've forgotten to log in, so you log in directly off the beta page, once you have successfully logged in it takes you back to the edit source page instead of the beta page. Minor, but thought you may want to correct it? "
I can't reproduce this - I get back to VisualEditor (as expected) - the login link is something like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Foobar&returntoquery=veaction%3Dedit Can "Professor Hog" give any further details? What browser were they using? Can they reproduce? What about after a hard-refresh? Do they have any odd gadgets on the account into which they were logging-in?
I'll ask for further clarification, but I've tested this in Firefox 23 on linux. Clicking the link in the VE popup that notes you're not logged in reproduces this bug. (Note that this loads the login window in a new tab, I logged in there and was returned to the source editor in that window). Dismissing that popup and then using the log in link at the top right of the page returned me to viewing the page not editing it in either editor. The results are the same using my Thryduulf account which has a couple of gadgets, and my Awkward42 account which has none.
To clarify the sequence I used to reproduce this was: 1. log out 2. load a page in VE. I tested with [[Symphony No. 8 (Mahler)]] and [[user:Thryduulf/sandbox]] 3. click to edit the page in VE 4. Click the "log in" link in the notice that pops up. This loads https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=User:Thryduulf/sandbox&returntoquery=action%3Dedit in a new tab. 5. In that new tab, log in as normal Get returned to the source editor. The edit notice shown is that in [[MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning]] where the link is hardcoded to the source editor (pre VE this would never have been an issue). To me this suggests that either editor-relative urls are needed or we need different edit notices for the classic editor and VE (see bug 52741 for the latter)

Re-titling so I don't get confused again. :-)
Changing the depends on to bug 52471 (sorry, I typoed in comment 3)
