I don't think it can be done for and from a redirect page. Both tabber and tabview's displayed tab is set to the first tab by default and changed using JavaScript, so you would need to alter the JS to change that behavior.

The example you reference actually uses three different pages that transclude the same tab contents in a different order based on which one should show by default. You'll notice that when you visit the subpage tab2, the "second" tab is first in the tab navigation. So there's no special link, just three different copies of the page with content ordered differently.

What you could conceivably do, in the same vein, would be to add content to your "redirect" page instead of making it a redirection. You could either make it a copy of the other one, except with tab 2 (or whichever) as the first tab, or give it only the content of the desired tab instead of using a tabbed layout. Either would be easier with Tabview since you wouldn't have to worry about updating content in more than one page, as both your original page and your "redirect" would be getting the content from a dedicated page.
