This is a known issue. That link tells the Validator to check the referring web page, but the link checker doesn't send a referrer HTTP header, so the Validator redirects you to the home page as a primitive error recovery procedure. This issue is on both service's todo lists for attention, but no specific way to "fix" it has been decided on yet. Meanwhile, you can safely ignore errors related to a redirect from http://validator.w3.org/check/referer.
