Test client to a redirect requiring a login doesn't set redirect_chain properly?

I have a view that can redirect to /admin/common/region/add/ but that
url (being an admin page) should require login (right?). My test that
logs-in works as expected.

However, when I try to do an assertRedirects() without logging in
first, the assertRedirects() doesn't seem to follow through to the
login URL.

def test_no_region_not_logged_in(self):
# if we have no regions and attempt to visit
# the "home" page, the site has been misconfigured so
# it should redirect to the admin page (via login)
# where a new region can be created.

url = reverse("home") # the URL that
# should redirect to /admin/common/region/add/
# via the login page

# self.client is instantiated in setUp()
response = self.client.get(url, follow=True)

# print repr(response.redirect_chain)
# the redirect_chain contains just has one entry
# rather than the two I'd expect

add_region_url = reverse("admin:common_region_add")
login_url = reverse("login")
expected_url = "%s?next=%s" % (
login_url,
quote(add_region_url)
)
self.assertRedirects(response, expected_url)

However my test fails with:

AssertionError: Response redirected to
'http://testserver/admin/common/region/add/', expected
'http://testserver/accounts/login/?next=/admin/common/region/add/'

Where am I going wrong? Do admin pages not have @login_required as I
expect? Does the test-client not fully follow when follow=True?

For what it's worth, this is Django 1.6.7 (I need something pre-1.7
because my hosting-provider's target environment only has Python 2.6,
not 2.7)

Thanks for any hints you might be able to offer.
