Could this extra hop be the result of some frantic redesign work in preparation for the BT trial? If so, does it tell us anything about what they are worried about?

Without giving too much away to these muppets, there is a simpler way to achieve what they are trying to do, with none of the complication implied by 4x redirect... and complete compliance with opt in by end users.
So what can we learn from what they are doing? The redirects tell you something very straightfoward. Here's the detail...
For each redirect you should assume an increasing degree of incompetence on the part of the designer. So BT clearly have a 4* idiot doing their design work. (On a scale whereby Mr Bean is a 1* idiot, Keystone Kops 2* idiots, the Chuckle Brothers 3*, and Freddy Star might qualify as a 5* idiot ).
This is the work of someone who should never
never be allowed near a national computer network, and never
never be trusted with any aspect of technical privacy or security.
Its so laughably cr@p I'd be ROFL if I wasn't so horrified that they are still seemingly intent on breaking the law.
BT customers, do yourself a favour. Give up on these people, its irretrievable.
Move to an ISP who understands how the internet works, respects your privacy/security, respects content copyright, and particularly an ISP who isn't employing an idiot.
