What about changing the value of "Loginreqtext" in the database? Put
in a meta-refresh tag like <META http-equiv="refresh"
content="5;URL=/index.php/Special:Userlogin">
Not sure if this would work - or if the meta tag would get munged by
the wiki-to-html process.
You could always modify the code to redirect instead of displaying the
error message.
